What is the ruling on wearing a wedding ring - is it forbidden or permissible?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Rings are permissible for women, made of any metal. As for men, they are permitted to wear rings of silver and other materials, but it is forbidden for them to wear gold rings. The engagement or wedding ring has no basis in Islamic law; it is a custom of non-Muslims, and therefore, it should be avoided.
