The indication of people discarding gold rings as proof of their prohibition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, is the phrase "so people discarded it" evidence that gold rings are forbidden for both men and women alike?
Answer:
No. There is absolutely no evidence in this. They did not discard it because it was a ring; they did not discard it because it was a ring, but they discarded it because it was gold. Therefore, it is not permissible for a man to adorn himself with gold; that is the reason for its prohibition. As for gold rings, they are permissible for women. She may wear rings in the form of necklaces, bracelets, and bangles. As for anything else, there is no objection to it. However, there is a hadith in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade gold rings. They say this is an anomalous narration that contradicts the authentic evidence. So it is an anomalous hadith upon which no action is taken. Yes.
