The ruling on wearing an iron ring and watch

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on wearing an iron ring? Is there a hadith regarding it? And is the iron watch to be judged by analogy with it?

Answer:
It is permissible to wear an iron ring, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the one who wanted to marry a woman in the presence of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): “Seek, even if it is only an iron ring.” This indicates the permissibility of an iron ring. There is nothing wrong with an iron watch. Yes, some scholars say it is disliked because iron is the adornment of the people of the Fire, but the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Look (for something), even if it is only an iron ringالتمس ولو خاتما من حديد
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3359Sahih (Darussalam)
, so if it were forbidden, he would not have commanded him to do so. Yes.
