The Ruling on Wearing a Ring
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is wearing a ring a recommended practice or permissible?
Answer:
The most likely view—and Allah knows best—is that it is a recommended practice for those in authority, while for the general public, it is at most permissible. However, for those in authority, it is a recommended practice, following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Nowadays, they use it to seal documents and orders. A narration from Abu Rayhanah in Abu Dawud prohibits wearing it except for one who holds authority. There is doubt regarding its authenticity, but if it were authentic, it would be understood in this sense.
