Sunan and manners regarding ring

1.         It is Haraam for men to wear a gold ring. The Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has forbidden wearing a gold ring. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 67, Hadees 5863)

2.         It is Haraam to have a (non-pubescent) boy wear the jewellery made of gold and silver, and the one having the boy do so will be a sinner. Likewise, it is also not permissible to apply henna unnecessarily to the hands and feet of boys. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 3, pp. 428; Durr-e-Mukhtar, Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 598) There is no harm in applying henna to the hands and feet of non-pubescent girls.

3.         (For men) the iron-ring is the jewellery of the damned (i.e. the Hell-dwellers). (Sunan-ut-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. (Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 9, pp. 597)

5.         It is not permissible [for men] to wear a ring without a gem because a gemless ring is not actually considered a ring.

6.         It is permissible to wear the ring inscribed with Huroof-e-Muqatta’at [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.         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.
