Are Wedding Rings Permissible In Islam

The only reason the Messenger of Allah saws wore the signet-ring was because it was customary to seal a letter sent to foreign dignitaries in those times.

Are wedding rings permissible in islam. They are simply a cultural declaration of ones being married and little more. 5152008 Since Islam sanctions no official clergy any Muslim who understands Islamic tradition can officiate a wedding. Secondly if that is accompanied by the belief that it has an effect on the marital relationship then this is a kind of shirk.

It is a custom that has come to the Muslims from the non-Muslims. Wedding rings in our time carry no religious significance in and of themselves. 2 If the person thinks the ring aids in strengthening the love between the husband and wife then this is from Shirk.

In fact it was narrated that it is not allowed to wear it on the middle finger or forefinger as in the hadith of Ali ibn Abi Taalib may Allah have mercy on him who said. Wearing wedding ring is an imitation of those who are no good. As for rings of silver this is permissible according to the consensus of the imaams for it was reported that the Prophet peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him had a ring of silver and that his companions wore rings.

However according to Shafiis although the amount of palladium in it is less than that of gold zakah has to be given for it if the white gold or the amount of gold in it is equal to or more than the amount of nisab. The Messenger of Allah blessings and peace of Allah be upon him forbade us to wear rings on these two fingers and he pointed to the middle finger and the one next to it. So it is not permissible for the Muslim male to wear a gold ring.

It is not permissible for the male Muslim to wear a ring of gold. With regard to the wedding ring which is worn on the occasion of marriage this is not one of the customs of the Muslims. A lot of times it is encouraged.

Wearing the wedding ring can become a bid ah if people start to believe it as a necessity from their Islamic wedding ceremony or that we are required to wear it for marriage binding purpose. Based on the above it is not permissible to wear a wedding ring under any circumstances. Similarly with regard to the engagement ring it is not permissible to the man to put it on his fiances hand because she is not his wife yet and she is still a stranger.
