9 Dec 2020video Is it haram for men to wear necklaces, rings or earrings? Mufti Abu Layth disagrees with Yasir Qadhi that men's jewellery is effeminate, saying men have always worn it and Western executives are no benchmark for Islamic etiquette.

24 Jul 2019Quick Fiqh! Is a man wearing an earring imitating women or harmful? No: Qadi Khan of the Hanafis allowed boys' earrings since the jahiliyya practice went uncriticised by the Prophet, the harm argument cannot permit piercing for girls and forbid it for boys, and history shows men wearing earrings. Men wearing kohl shows that what is 'effeminate' is a cultural matter. Lessonposition checkedQadi KhanHanafi schoolHanbali schoolaqiqah machine3 min 57 s27:25on YouTube
24 Jul 2019Quick Fiqh! Is it haram for a man to wear an earring? No: men's earrings are permissible, with the precedent of Hasan, Husayn, Imam Malik and Sufyan ibn Uyayna, and the later scholars who opposed them were likely influenced by outside traditions. Mufti Abu Layth accepts that others may call it haram but says the evidence speaks for itself.
