Is it haram for men to wear earrings?

ethnically and so on and you'd be similar to them so because they don't know they what are they going to say is it you know some people say 60 days it's 40 days it's this he just says look just ask the women what is it and they'll give you an average so you just go with that so yeah so this was the birth of uh Imam Malik as a young child he um was born and raised in Medina his family were religious but they had some freedoms as they did they weren't um

you know Draconian towards him so he grew up very um just chilled out and he wasn't actually that religious growing up as a kid Imam Malik he was very drawn to music and singing and so he as a young man as a young boy let's say so he wanted to become a singer and he would kind of sing and he would do stuff and he was just more interested in that so he he did like many young boys then he wore an earring um this comes as a surprise to many

people today they think because the I guess the Muslim culture changed over time so then as Islam spread out and the cultures changed many people stopped wearing like they wouldn't wear earrings and so they would think this is only only girls wear earrings but many of the Great imams in the early Islamic period especially in Arabia uh the great had the theme like Imam Malik like Sofia like all these people used to wear earrings used to wear his earrings into his Hadith Das where he would learn Hadith so there were people

later on as they became older older men they stopped wearing them but they weren't it wasn't that they see now the question is people see this is the question where people say oh my god well how could that be because it becomes as a shark because they think it's Haram for men to wear earrings and this is why Iman Malik's fatwa in the uh

is that when he says to make your young boys wear Golden Earrings is macro he doesn't comment on the earring he says because gold you know he says it's better to refrain from gold so he said that it's macro but not about the earring he doesn't say anything because if it's about the earring then you ought to say well wait a minute earrings are wrong like so for example if let's say owning a gun is let's say it's forbidden or it's illegal in let's say if we're using those terms

and if a person says well what if I own the Golden Gun and the person ought to say well guns all together are giving that example so when Imam Malik is asked that about people uh placing Golden Earrings on boys young boys he says that well the he says that gold is not something that really he he's of the he goes with the general understanding that it's makaru he says that this is discouraged because they shouldn't really make them wear gold and it says even though the boys you know they're just young boys but the parents should know better but he

doesn't criticize the earring because in his day and age most boys had earrings um and this is why also the Shia tradition show about the grandsons of the Prophet salallahu with earrings um in their reward when they speak of karbala and things like this that how the the earrings were dangling and things like that but I've got a very detailed video about that but it comes as a culture shock and I get that because people think oh my God how that's not the Islam that we're so perceptibly familiar with but that's very

common because the seller for very early in Islam so their Islam culture hadn't formed clearly or it was still developing it hadn't solidified so if you read about the salaf a lot of them for example had things like the men had ponytails or they had braids many of the men would braid their hair have like these kind of plaits um and and this as you can imagine even today if you saw a man in much of the Muslim world would be really frowned upon but arguably they say in sahil

bukhari the prophet had plans not always but some in in the rewind they say he planted four main plats and tied them but the but today this is because it's not the common culture it comes as a culture shock so yeah so this was Imam Malik's upbringing he was very into music he was very into um singing he was not interested in Islam as much it doesn't mean he was against Islam he just wasn't drawn that way and he asked his mother his mother discouraged him from
