Question
theWorlds.However,afewdaysagooneofmyfriendscametomeandtoldmethatthere
was this good book by Shaykh N/ir al-Dn Al-Albn called Adb Al-Ziff (Wedding
Etiquettes). Obviously, I went to the market and I bought it from one of the Islamic
bookshops and then I went home and read all of it from start to finish. However, I was
surprised by the subject of gold being declared
arm (forbidden) for women and the
a
adth given to indicate this. My question is: what is your opinion of this Shaykh
(Mu
ammad N/ir al-Dn Al-Albn), what is your opinion of this book of his (Adb AlZiff)andwhatisthecorrectrulingregardinggoldbeing
