On which finger is the ring worn?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The index finger or the one next to it, or the middle finger and the one next to it; this is the prohibition... As for the remaining fingers, they do not fall under the prohibition, which means that the prohibition... the middle finger and the one next to it, which is the index finger... The prohibition was directed at the middle finger or the index finger next to it, and I mean that "or" is an expression of doubt from the narrator, not the conjunction "and" which would include both fingers in the ruling. Either the middle finger or the one next to it, which is the index finger. Some commentators explained that the prohibition includes both the middle and index fingers, assuming that "or" here means "and," as if the hadith said "the middle finger and the index finger." But the truth, after we traced the routes of the hadith, is that this "or" is a doubt from one of the narrators, meaning that the prohibition is directed either at the index finger, either at the middle finger, or at the index finger, but the narrator hesitated. So, for the person obligated to avoid the prohibition, there is no practical way to do so except by abstaining from both fingers. This is what... we would like to hear from you.
Al-Halabi : This hadith was not narrated except by him, so the scholars established from this hadith the companionship of a man, who is... and the hadith was not narrated except through the route of Muhammad ibn Abban.
The Shaykh : ...
Al-Halabi : Meaning, his companionship is not established.
The Shaykh : His companionship is not established.
Al-Halabi : Unless it comes through a second route.
The Shaykh : Unless his mention comes from the narrators... possible.
The questioner : Where is the waiting period observed?
The Shaykh : In her family's house.
The questioner : In her family's house.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : Whether she requested it or her husband did.
The Shaykh : No, here there is no request or non-request; this is a legal ruling, unlike a woman divorced with a revocable divorce, whom it is not permissible to expel.
