The Ruling on Men Wearing an Iron Ring

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Qur'an indicates, or the verse indicates, the legislation in this matter, like this hadith that began

Answer:
It is permissible for men to wear an iron ring, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the man who asked the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to marry him to the woman who had offered herself to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not desire her, he said, "Marry me to her." He asked the man to bring his relatives' wealth, but he found nothing. He said to him, "Even if it were just an iron ring." This indicates the permissibility of wearing an iron ring. Some scholars disliked it, saying that it is the adornment of the people of the Fire. The hadith mentions the adornment of the people of the Fire, but this does not indicate its prohibition; it does not indicate its prohibition. Therefore, the ruling on this hadith is that the default is permissibility, unless evidence indicates its prohibition. We accept the evidence, and the default for clothing is permissibility.
