Question

Mufti saheb,
Can men wear a stainless steel watch that has about 10 milligrams of white Gold 22ct In it?

Answer

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

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

In principle, a man is permitted to wear a watch in which the gold/silver is not dominant i.e. it is less than 50%. Accordingly, if steel is the dominant metal, then it will be permissible to wear.

If the watch contains certain parts or straps made of gold, then you may refer to the link below.
