Is the sale of wedding rings exchanged between spouses, which were exchanged under the influence of Western culture, considered unlawful (haram), and would the money resulting from their sale be lawful (halal)?
Exchanging rings between fiancés is forbidden if it is associated with a corrupt belief, such as bringing affection, but permissible if it is free from that. It is prohibited if it leads to a man wearing gold. It is permissible to sell the wedding ring and benefit from its price, especially if the purpose is to get rid of its prohibited use, because the prohibition does not apply to the ring itself but to the belief associated with it or the imitation of disbelievers.
