Is it forbidden or permissible for a male infant to wear gold, and is it permissible for the mother to refuse it to avoid problems?

Scholars differed on the ruling concerning adorning a boy with gold. The Hanafis and Hanbalis held it to be forbidden for the guardian to do so, while the Malikis deemed it disliked (makruh), and the Shafi'is considered it permissible. The opinion of prohibition is more cautious due to the general nature of the evidence and the potential harm of accustoming the child to imitating women. You may prevent your husband's mother from adorning your son with gold, but it is preferable to fulfill her wish if the matter is permissible; this is part of wisdom and noble character that averts animosity and fosters affection. Moreover, winning hearts takes precedence over some recommended or permissible acts.
