A man who married and did not wear an engagement ring because he knew that this is imitating the disbelievers, but later he felt like wearing a ring, so he wore the ring not for the sake of the engagement
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, and in the case of, I ask you the question again on Friday regarding the wearing, meaning now there is a difference, I think... I told you that wearing it on this finger is permissible.
The Shaykh : Is this a second question or not? What I understood from you is that a man, for example, is a bachelor.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He wears the ring on the ring finger.
The questioner : Yes, it is known.
The Shaykh : So we do not forbid it.
The questioner : Why?
The Shaykh : Because he is a bachelor.
The questioner : Very good.
The Shaykh : And we do not forbid it? Is this the question?
The questioner : Yes, this we forbid.
The Shaykh : Your question, meaning, is this it? Do we forbid it or not?
The questioner : My question was, yes.
The Shaykh : ... that it is permissible for him.
The questioner : Yes, but as for the suitor.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner: Yes.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh : I will give you a second picture closer to your question, which is: a man married and did not wear an engagement ring because he knew that this is imitating the disbelievers.
The questioner : Very good.
The Shaykh : But later he felt like wearing a ring, so he wore the ring; this is also permissible.
The questioner : Yes, beautiful.
The Shaykh : Did the second picture become clear to you?
The questioner : Clear, so.
The Shaykh : Is there anything else last?
The questioner: Go ahead.
The Shaykh : What I hear and do not know is that the engagement ring has a special design.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So in that case, he should avoid this special design of the ring absolutely.
The questioner : It is general.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Very good.
The Shaykh : I say this, I hear it, I do not know if this is true or not?
The questioner : Now, this ring.
The Shaykh : The answer is clear.
The questioner : Yes, yes, may Allah reward you with good.
Another questioner : He works in a library... sometimes the employer asks them to patch and cover up some things from... even though this... meaning, after five months, the defect might become apparent... so they are covering it up; this means they are deceiving the teacher... meaning, what is his position in this case?
The Shaykh : His position, if he believes that this covering is deception, it is not permissible for him to help the teacher who is deceiving. And if he does not believe that it is deception, there is no harm. And I say, why this detail? Because now, for example, in the world of trade, plastic containers, and this is as it is said, "the daughter of her grandmother" (a cheap imitation), they used to hold them and they would last a long time, praise be to Allah, as if they were made of iron or zinc or the like. But this material... in short, they no longer fulfill their promise to produce these containers with the same thickness and the same size. So they make them thinner on one side and smaller on the other, smaller on one side and thinner on the other. This is called deception. This is called deception, because it is "in your eye, O trader" (a reference to the hadith about deception). Now, regarding his question, I do not imagine now whether he is of this type or another type. And therefore, I turned the answer to him and said, if he believes that it is deception, then it is not permissible, of course... meaning, now, if we imagine his picture that this covering has a thickness of one centimeter, for example, but in some way it is hollow, and the viewer sees its thickness as what? One centimeter, but the manufacturer knows that he is deceiving. This is certainly deception. So in this picture, it is not permissible, of course...
The questioner : After a period of time.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The Shaykh : Is this a second question or not? What I understood from you is that a man, for example, is a bachelor.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He wears the ring on the ring finger.
The questioner : Yes, it is known.
