If the image on the ring is incomplete in a way that life cannot be sustained by it in reality, then it is not among the forbidden images. If it is complete, it is better to avoid it. Some scholars have permitted images of animate beings on rings due to their small size and what was narrated about some Companions who wore rings with images of animate beings on them. It is stipulated that the image must not be associated with a corrupt belief.
