Please advise me on what type of wedding rings for males are allowed.
Currently there are titanium and platinum rings. I even heard a notion
that you are allowed to mixelements as long as thesilver content is
the majority. Is this true?
Also is it allowed for males to wear diamonds on the rings?
A: There is no concept as a wedding ring in the Shariah..
There is a Hadith which is narrated by Abdullah bin Bareera
(Radhiyallaahu Anhu) who narrates from his father that a person
wearing a ring made of brass came to Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa
Sallam). Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said to him, "I get
the smell of idols from you." Thisperson flung the ring away and came
again with a ring made of iron. This time Rasulullah (Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wa Sallam) said,"I see the jewellery of the people of hell on
you." This person flungthe ring away and asked, "O Rasulullah
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) from what should I make the ring?"
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) answered saying, "Make it
from silver and do not allowits weight to exceed one mithqaal."
A mithqaal has been worked out to be approximately 4.374 grams.
From this Hadith the Jurists have deduced that it is not permissible
to wear rings made of metals other than gold or silver. Titanium is a
metal other than gold or silver and accordingly may not be worn. A man
is only permitted to wear a silver ring weighing no more than 4.374
grams, whilst women are allowed to wear rings of gold and/or silver
only. A diamond may be put on the ring.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
Was Salaam
