The questioner : His final question asks whether wearing silver rings is forbidden for men or permissible, and if it is permissible, on which of the fingers does a man wear it?
The Shaykh : Yes. Regarding the wearing of a ring in itself, the scholars have differed on whether it is permissible, a recommended practice, or whether it should not be done except by one in authority. However, if we say it is permissible and there is no harm in it, then it is permissible for a man to wear a silver ring. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan an-Nasa'i 5279Sahih (Darussalam) As for its place, it is worn on the right or left hand, on the ring finger, which is the one between the little finger and the middle finger.
