The Ruling on Wearing a Ring for the Treatment of Pain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people wear a ring on their wrist, and when asked about it, they say it is a relative band that relieves the pain of the ribs. What is the importance of that?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This matter was investigated by the senior scholars, and they issued a decision prohibiting it. This is because it opens the door for sorcerers and false prophets. Therefore, this practice is not permissible. The claim that this ring has a property that treats rheumatism or whatever is asserted about it is merely a claim; doctors have not described it as such. Rather, it is a claim promoted by some pharmacists or by those who wish to deceive people and take their money. The result is that there is a decision from the Committee of Senior Scholars prohibiting it. Yes.
