Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a man wearing diamonds, such as in a ring?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with a ring that he needs, even if it is made of diamonds or precious stones; because the prohibition was only mentioned regarding a gold ring, and there is no text regarding anything else, and the default is permissibility. So if he needs a ring, he may wear one made of diamonds, precious stones, or any precious metal other than gold. He may even wear a silver ring, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, wearing these things for the sake of adornment and effeminacy is not permissible.
