What is his (peace and blessings be upon him) way of wearing the ring?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, in the same question, is it established that he (peace be upon him) used to wear the ring on the left hand or the left side...?
The Shaykh : Both, both.
The questioner : Yes, nowadays we do not wear it on the left, like the ring on the left hand.
The Shaykh : Wearing it on the left is imitating the disbelievers, and the Messenger (peace be upon him) forbade imitating the disbelievers. And in something more precise than that, he loved to differ from the disbelievers. Imitation is one thing and differing is another. The disbelievers have come to us from their side, but they do not use it except on the left hand. That is why they place the buckle here, and not here, because it would be difficult. If they had taken us into account, they would have placed the button here, but they did not make a button for us. But, if Allah wills, those days will be exchanged among people. The world is like this: a day for you and a day against you.
