Can Muslim Men Wear Platinum?

Is it permissible for a man to wear a ring made of platinum?

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:

We put this question to Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih al-‘Uthaymin, may Allah have mercy on him, who answered as follows:

Men can wear rings made of platinum with two conditions:

That it is not an extravagance on the part of one who cannot afford to wear this kind of jewellery

That it should not cause any kind of fitnah (temptation), such as the man being young and perhaps causing fitnah by wearing it.

The basic principle with regard to clothing is that everything is permissible except gold rings , which are haram for men as is well known.

And Allah knows best.
