Could you verify this narration?
“Wearing silk and gold has made unlawful for the males of my Ummah and lawful for its females”
Answer:
Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith.
Sayyiduna Abu Musa Al Ash’ari (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Wearing gold [jewellery] and silk [garments] has been made unlawful upon the males of my ummah and has been permitted for females.”
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1720)
Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith authentic (hasanun sahih).
Note: I have merely answered your question regarding the authenticity of the Hadith in question. This should therefore not be viewed as a Fiqh ruling. Kindly contact a Mufti/Darul Ifta for a fatwa on this matter.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
