Men wearing gold as a form of treatment

· 15 Shaʻban 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I know that men can't wear gold jewellery. I just learnt from a Muslim herbalist that a Hindu from India called Vivek has advised the numerous health benefits of men wearing gold and it even is a cure for cancer. If this is true then could we Muslim men who have ailments wear gold jewellery.

Answer
