Answer: firstly, for a male to wear a chain or bracelet is not allowed of any types, as these kind of ornaments are only allowed for women or girls in Islam.

Secondly, though silver itself is not prohibited for a male to wear but due to the above reason it is not allowed to use as a chain or bracelet.

As for the gold is concerned, it is completely haram for a male to use whether its a chain or bracelet.

“The Prophet s.a.w cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men”. (Bukhari)

We can conclude that whether the gold is less or more in amount, and either in the form of chain/bracelet are irrelevant.

Answer: (a) If a person intentionally involves in to sexual intercourse during fasting in the month of Ramadan whether ejaculates or not, his fast will be void and both Qadha and Kaffarah will be wajib upon them. One fast needs to be done for Qadha as a penalty and as for kaffarah (expiation), will need to fast two months (60 days) consecutively without any break of chain (in other words if one misses one fast during this 60 consecutive days then he/she need to re-start the whole 60 fasts again). However, if one is not able to fast for 60 consecutive days then he may perform one of following two options:

(1) Feed sixty needy people one day’s full two time meals or;

(2) Feed one needy person for sixty days of full two time meals
