Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the fireworks that are widespread during the daytime of Ramadan? And what is the ruling on wearing the ring known as the dablah?
Answer:
The firecrackers that children play with pose a danger and a nuisance to people. They should be prohibited; they should be prohibited because they pose a danger. They might cause a fire, or they might harm an unaware person who is disturbed by these firecrackers while he is unaware; they may affect his mind as well.
They contain harms; they involve harming people and disturbing them. They should be prohibited except for short, limited periods. There is no harm in allowing children to play with them, but without causing harm to people. As for wearing a ring. Yes.
As for wearing a ring, this is a custom that has come to us from outside; we did not know this thing before. If wearing the ring involves the belief that it makes the husband more attractive to his wife, or the wife more attractive to her husband, then it is not permissible, because it becomes an act of shirk (associating partners with Allah), since it is a belief in something other than Allah. Also, if the ring is made of gold, it is forbidden (haram) for a man to wear it. It is forbidden for a man to wear gold, whether it is a ring or otherwise. Gold is lawful only for women.
