QUESTION:

I thought gold was not allowed to be worn by male was due to the metal
composition in Gold. If a person has a white gold ring, i.e. Northern
American gold rings are usually 10-15% gold and from the looks of the ring,
it looks more like a silver then gold ring, I this permissible to be worn
during salaat by a male?


ANSWER:

If it is gilded with plate or it is coated in such a way that the urf
(local custom) do not consider it as pure gold then one is allowed to wear
it even in prayer
