3.         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 (Islamic Judge) and the Mufti to stamp 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.

8.         One can wear the ring on any hand, but should wear it on the little finger. (Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 596)
