AS -SALAM- MOALIKUM
i have one question
that is in ISLAM gold is haram for mens that is for sure but still there are some people who
wear it and ALLAH will punish them for this sin but my actual question is that
those who give gold ring or chain to other men on the other hand they know it
that it is haram but on the demand of that man one
man is giving gold ring to the other will ALLAH punish both of them or the one
who is demanding for it?

Answer:
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 no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
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) indeed declared the wearing of gold haraam
for the believing men; and the one who disobeys the Messenger of Allah (saws)
has indeed disobeyed Allah Subhanah; and the
disobedience of Allah and His Messenger (saws) is a grave sin in Islam.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisa verse 79-80: We have
sent you (O Mohamed) as a Messenger to mankind,
and Allah’s witness suffices for this.
Whoever obeys the Messenger, in fact obeys Allah, and whoever turns away from him, he
will be accountable for his deeds.
Anyhow, we
have not sent you (O Mohamed) to be a guardian over them.
There is
absolutely no harm in men dealing or trading in gold or gold objects, provided
one does not personally wear them.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
3.782 Narrated by Abdullah bin Umar
Umar bin Al-Khattab saw a silken dress
(cloak) being sold at the gate of the Mosque and said, "O Messenger of
Allah (saws)! Would that you buy it and wear it on Fridays and when the
delegates come to you?" The
Messenger of Allah (saws) said, "This is worn by the one who will have no
share in the Hereafter." Later on
some silk dresses were brought and Allah's Messenger (saws) sent one of them to
'Umar. 'Umar said,
"How do you give me this to wear while you said what you said about the
dress of 'Utarid?" The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, "I
have not given it to you to wear."
So, 'Umar gave it to a pagan brother of his in
