Question

I know that gold is haram for men in islam. But recently someone told me that that if a man is travelling he is allowed to wear gold in islam only during travelling so that he can use the gold in adverse conditions. Plz advice what is correct in islam

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Your question needs more clarity. Please clarify why men cannot “carry” the gold? Why do they have to wear it?

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
