Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We see some of the young people these days wearing a plastic ring on their hands. Is this permissible?
Answer:
Ask them why they are wearing it? Ask why he is wearing it? If he says he is wearing it because it wards off harm, or because it brings about good, or something similar to that, then this is shirk (associating partners with Allah). If he is wearing it out of imitating the disbelievers, then this is forbidden. You are from the people of soundness. Therefore, it is not free from being either forbidden due to imitation, or being shirk, may Allah protect us from it. A man does not wear jewelry on his hand, nor does he wear anything of this kind; this is for women. Yes.
