The ruling on men wearing a gold ring

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is one remaining question in this topic, and perhaps you will allow us to address it. It concerns men wearing a gold ring; what is the ruling on it?

Answer:
It is not permissible for men to wear a gold ring, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited wearing a gold ring. When he saw a man with a ring on his hand, he threw it away and said, "He is carrying
one of you to a burning coal and place it in his handأحدكم إلى جمرة من النار فيضعها في يده
" This was narrated by Muslim in the Sahih. He also prohibited wearing a gold ring in the two Sahihs, in the hadith of al-Bara'ah. Therefore, it is not permissible to wear a gold ring, whether it is called a ring or something else, or whatever it is called. Furthermore, wearing a ring in this manner is also imitating the disbelievers, meaning it is a custom that came from the disbelievers. So it should not be used, neither in gold nor in anything else.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and may He benefit Islam through you.
