“In general, men cannot wear necklaces because they are considered to imitate women,” Wael said as quoted by Aboutislam on Monday (05/08/2023).
In this context, the Prophet Muhammad is said to have said: “Allah has cursed women who look like men and men who imitate women”.

“It should also be noted that money is generally not prohibited for men. For example, a man can wear a silver ring,” he explained.
