Q795: Fake earrings for men

Question

Can men wear fake magnetic earrings?

Answer

It is not permissible for men to wear earrings of any type as this entails to imitation of women. It is mentioned in the narration of Bukhari that,

“لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ – صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ – الْمُتَشَبِّهِينَ مِنْ الرِّجَالِ بِالنِّسَاءِ وَالْمُتَشَبِّهَاتِ مِنْ النِّسَاءِ بِالرِّجَالِ” (بخاري)

The Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu Alayhi wa Sallam cursed those men who imitate women, and those women who imitate men.

And Allah is All Knowing

(Ismail k 1/13)
