The ruling on wearing a gold ring and a wedding band for men
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is meant by the band that is worn on the left hand, it is placed on the left hand, the band that is worn
The Shaykh:
That owning a ring and putting images in it is not a problem.
The questioner:
And the best is in the ring.
The Shaykh:
The world, it has no original right for women, meaning the right of marriage. Praise be to Allah.
The questioner:
Is it a right of marriage or not? Any gold goes to its owners.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible, it is not permissible.
The questioner:
But its color is the color of gold.
The Shaykh:
Gold is not permissible for men, gold is not permissible for men, whether it is cheese or not cheese, one does not put on a gold ring.
The presenter:
All right.
The Shaykh:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade men from wearing gold rings, and when he saw a man with a gold ring on his hand, he took it off and threw it away, and one of them might take a coal from the fire and put it in his hand. Gold is for women. As for the custom of women wearing a band at marriage, this has no basis, this is from the deeds of the disbelievers, some people imitate them in this, it has no basis.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
If people make a mistake, it suffices them. Yes. In Egypt.
