Here's my new answer for everything: Because Allah (swt) and His Prophet (saws) told us so

More specifically:

Proof and Wisdom behind the prohibition of Gold - while there are many ahadith on the issue, it can be summed up with one:

The Prophet (saws) said: Wearing silk and gold has been made unlawful for the males of my Ummah and lawful for their females. Saheeh hadith recorded in Tirmidhi, Ahmad and Nasa'i.

Gold and Pure Silk Forbidden for Men: Why?

gold is hideous on men? do you mean peacocking type of jewelry? If so - i think some silver rings look similar to white gold, so I don't see the point.

yeah, like big pinky rings and the like. ugh. i'm not a male jewelry fan anyways, even when it's white gold that looks like silver, etc. just a personal bias

No its ok for females

and he can live in a house with silk curtains?

[sandinista! 1,816]

i think as long as yr husband does not attempt to wear yr curtains, y'all should be alright.

that would be bad no matter what material yr curtains were made of.
