Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is wearing a ring and a watch among the prohibitions of ihram?
Answer:
No, it is permissible for the one in ihram to wear a watch because he needs it, just as it is permissible for him to wear a belt or a waistband because he needs it. Likewise, wearing a watch is permissible because he needs it to know the time and the times of prayer. The ring is also something a person needs, especially if it has his name on it; he needs a garment with his name on it, and the ring is not a sewn garment, so it is permissible for the one in ihram to wear it.
