Allah -God- created humans in the best shape having the most generous image. And created the male and the female to complement each other, said Allah in the Holy Quran
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ
“O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes. You may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. Allah has full knowledge and well aware of all things.”
The wisdom of Allah-Almighty-required to differ the characteristics of both males and females to distinguish one from another. And those qualities and characteristics would achieve integration between them. The composition of a man with what the Almighty provided him with physical strength was appropriate with his quest for work and his request for livelihood. As well as the matter for women was appropriate for what will be entrusted with pregnancy, birth, and care. But recently there has become a demand from some people for changes in their creation and body which is now known as “lady-man”, so what is the opinion of Islam about lady-man?

Silver and gold for the men
A must for the Muslim to conform his life in accordance with what pleases Allah. They should not be located in forbidden or not to seek to do what is done.

The question of wearing gold and silver for the men is one of the important things that we must pay attention to their legitimacy, and if it is halal or haram.

If the silver used for purposes other than a ring, it mustn’t be in the form of decorations or pride and extravagance. Such as the man wearing bracelets and chains whether they are silver or gold. A team of scholars has gone to the permissible of using the silver in the sweetening of the sword and war machines for men, but it is permitted to be used as bracelets and chains.
As Ibn Abbas heard the messenger Mohammed (PBUH) saying:
the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, Allah cursed men who try to look like women and women who also try to look like men. Therefore, Wearing silver in the form of bracelets or chains in which men look-alike women is prohibited.
