Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He turned his face to the questioner, and the questioner is from among the people, and there are also multiple issues regarding the questioner. Something? Yes. Regarding the questioner. Regarding the questioner. Yes. There are also multiple issues among the people. And some of the beloved ones are hindered in the clarity of the answer

Answer:
This is not permissible, this is not permissible. And if he believes that wearing this ring brings healing, then it becomes one of the rings that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade, and
He said: “Take it off, for it will only increase you in weakness.”قَالَ انْزِعْهَا فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَزِيدُكَ إِلاَّ وَهْنًا
Sunan Ibn Majah 3531Da’if (Darussalam)
, so if you die while it is on you, you will never succeed. So if this is in the category of seeking healing through it or being healed by it, then it is shirk (associating partners with Allah). And if it is in the category of adornment, then it is imitating women, because wearing bracelets on the forearms and hands is a characteristic of women. Yes, wearing a watch on the forearm is only permissible out of necessity. It is permissible out of necessity because one does not benefit from the watch except in this way, and this is easier for the person. It is permissible for the sake of necessity, even though some scholars dislike this, to the extent that some scholars dislike wearing a watch. And because whoever wears a bracelet is imitating women. But we say this is for necessity, and there is no harm in it.
