1. It is Haraam for men to wear a gold ring. The Noblest Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has
forbidden wearing a gold ring. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 67, Hadees 5863)
2. It is Haraam to have a (minor) boy wear the jewellery made of gold and silver, and
the one having the minor doing so will be a sinner. Likewise, it is also not permissible to apply henna unnecessarily to the hands and feet of boys. A woman can apply henna to her hands and feet, but she will be a sinner if she applies it to a
boy. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 3, pp. 428; Durr-e-Mukhtar, Radd-ul-Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 598) There
is no harm in applying henna to the hands and feet of minor girls.
3. The iron ring is the jewellery of the damned (i.e. the Hell-dwellers). (Jami’ Tirmizi, vol. 3,
pp. 305, Hadees 1792)
4. It is permissible for men to wear only a masculine ring i.e. the one with only one
gem. If there is more than one gem or there are many gems, then it will not be
permissible for men even if it is made of silver. (Radd-ul-Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 597)
5. It is not permissible [for men] to wear a ring without a gem as a gemless ring is not
actually considered a ring.
6. It is permissible to wear the ring inscribed with Huroof-e-Muqatta’aat [the letters in
the beginning of some Quranic Surahs] but it is not permissible to wear or touch
such a ring without Wudu. Likewise, it is not also permissible for the one shaking
hands with such a ring-wearing person to touch it without Wudu.
7. Similarly, it is not permissible for men to wear more than one (permissible) ring or
(one or more than one) gemless rings because a gemless ring is not actually
considered a ring. Women can wear gemless rings. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 3, pp. 428)
8. Even without the need of using the ring as a stamp, it is permissible to wear a silver
ring that weighs less than 4.5 Masha (i.e. 4 grams and 374 mg) and that has only one
gem. However, for the one who does not need to use it as his official stamp, it is
preferable not to wear even the permissible ring. As for the one who needs to use it
as his official stamp, not only is it permissible but also a Sunnah to wear such type
of ring for the very same purpose. However, if somebody wears it displaying
arrogance or adopting feminine style or with any other evil intention, then it will
not be permissible to wear even a beautiful dress, let alone the ring. (Fatawa
Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 141)
9. It is preferable to wear a ring on the occasions of Eid1 but men can wear only the
permissible one.
10. To wear a ring is a Sunnah only for those who need to use it as an official stamp
such as the king, the Qadi and the Mufti stamping Fatawa (with the ring). Except
for these people, it is not Sunnah for those not needing to use it as an official stamp
though it is permissible to wear it. (Fatawa ‘Aalamgiri, vol. 5, pp. 335) Rings are no longer
used as stamps but rather a particular stamp is used for this purpose. Therefore, it is
no longer a Sunnah to wear a ring even for the Qadi etc. who do not need to use it
as a stamp.
11. Men should wear the ring in the way that the gem remains towards the palm while
women should keep the gem towards the back of the hand. (Al-Hidayah, vol. 4, pp. 367)
12. A gemless silver ‘ring’ is typical of feminine ornament and, for men, it is Makruh
(Tahreemi, impermissible and sin). (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 22, pp. 130)
13. Women can wear as many silver and gold rings as they like whether with or without a gem. For them is no limit on the weight of silver and gold and on the number of
gems.
14. If an iron ring is plated with silver so that the iron is not visible at all, then it is not
prohibited (both for men and women) to wear such a ring. (Fatawa ‘Aalamgiri, vol. 5,
pp. 335)
15. One can wear the ring on any hand but should wear it on the little finger. (Rad-dul-
Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 596)
16. It is also impermissible and a sin for men to wear a metal bracelet related to Mannat
or Dam.
17. Likewise, it is not permissible to wear a gemless ring made of silver or any other
metal or a steel ring brought from Madinah Munawwarah or Ajmer.
18. It is not also permissible for men to wear a gemless ring made of silver or any other
metal, to which Dam has been made, for the cure of piles and other diseases.
19. If an Islamic brother is wearing a metal-made bracelet or gemless ring or chain or any type of impermissible ring, he is obliged by Shari’ah to take them off immediately, to repent to Allah and to make a firm intention of not wearing them any longer. Do not also give it to any other Islamic brother to wear.
