Answer:
Gold boys men males
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4046 Narrated by Ali ibn AbuTalib
The Prophet of
Allah (saws) took silk and held it in his right hand, and took gold and held it in his left
hand, and said: “both of these are
prohibited to the males of my community.”
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
808 Narrated by Abu Musa Ash'ari
The Prophet (saws)
said: ‘Wearing silk and gold has been made unlawful for the males of my Ummah
and lawful for their females.’
The Messenger of Allah (saws)
absolutely forbade and declared it ‘haraam’ for the male believers, regardless
of their age, to adorn themselves with gold.
If a male child (below the age of puberty) is adorned with gold or silk
by its parents/guardians, the child will be blameless and it would be the
parents/guardians of the child who will be held responsible for the
transgression.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
