Is it better to wear the ring on the right hand or the left?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We move on to a message received from Algeria. The questioner has a set of questions. In his first question, he says: Did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wear the ring on his right hand or his left? And is it an act of worship or a recommended practice? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
What the scholars have stated is that it is more likely that one should wear it on the left hand, placing it on the ring finger, which is the one next to the one between the middle finger and the little finger. This is the recommended and preferable practice. If one wears it on the right hand, wearing the ring on the right hand, this has also been reported, but the stronger view is that it should be on the left hand, on the left hand. Yes.
