What is the ruling on a man wearing a silver chain on his hand or neck without intending imitation, and is his prayer permissible while wearing it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
For men to wear gold or silver chains is forbidden because it involves imitating women or disbelievers. However, it does not affect the validity of the prayer, by analogy with the validity of the prayer of a man who wears silk.
