حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " حُرِّمَ لِبَاسُ الْحَرِيرِ وَالذَّهَبِ عَلَى ذُكُورِ أُمَّتِي ، وَأُحِلَّ لِإِنَاثِهِمْ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ، وَعَلِيٍّ ، وَعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، وَأَنَسٍ ، وَحُذَيْفَةَ ، وَأُمِّ هَانِئٍ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، وَجَابِرٍ ، وَأَبِي رَيْحَانَ ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَالْبَرَاءِ ، وَوَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .

Brief Explanation
1؎: Gold and silk garments are forbidden (haram) for Muslim men. There are several reasons for this prohibition: ➊ In these, there is resemblance to the disbelievers and polytheists. ➋ Adornment and beautification are particular characteristics of women; for men, these are not desirable. From this aspect, both are forbidden. ➌ The simplicity that Islam teaches is contradicted by these; whereas, according to the statement of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), simplicity is a part of faith. His saying is: «البذاذة من الإيمان» — that is, adopting a simple and unpretentious lifestyle is a part of faith. Both of these things are lawful (halal) for women, but the permissibility does not mean that one should exceed limits in their use. Similarly, here the permissibility pertains only to gold jewelry, not to utensils made from them, because utensils made from gold (and silver) are forbidden for everyone.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
English Translation:
It is permissible for women to wear gold, but the use of gold and silver utensils is prohibited for both men and women because it is absolutely unnecessary, and its only purpose is pride and ostentation. Even jewelry may be used by women only for the purpose of adornment, not for pride or boasting. (For details, see ahadith: 5139 to 5146).
