The Ruling on Women Wearing a Wedding Ring
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is from one of our female listeners in Jeddah. She says: H-M-A, a resident of Jeddah. Our sister has a number of issues, one of which is: I heard from one of the sisters that a Muslim woman wearing a wedding ring is considered imitating non-Muslim women. What is your honorable opinion on this matter? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions. As for a woman wearing a ring, this is a custom of women and is among what Allah has permitted for women in the context of adorning and beautifying themselves.
Not in the context of believing that it has an effect on the marriage or on the love between the spouses, for that is a defective belief. Rather, rings and other jewelry are worn for the sake of adornment and beautification, without believing that wearing this ring at the time of the proposal or the marriage contract causes love between the spouses, for that is a defective belief and a belief involving shirk (associating partners with Allah) from which one must be cautious. Yes.
