Once a companion wearing a brass-ring came in the court of the Beloved and Blessed
Rasūl ٖ
. He ٖ
said, ‘Why is the smell of idol coming from you!’
Hearing this, the companion removed that brass-ring and threw it away. He then came
again with an iron ring in his finger. Seeing this, the Noble Prophet ٖ
said, ‘Why are you wearing ornaments of the hell-dwellers!’ The companion threw that
iron-ring away either and asked, ‘Yā Rasūlallāĥ ٖ
, what sort of ring should
I get made’ The Holy Prophet ٖ
replied, ‘Have a silver-ring made and do
not let it weigh up to one Mišqāl (16 grams).’ (Abū Dāwūd, vol. 4, pp. 122, Ḥadīš 4223) In other
words, its weight must be less than 4.5 Māshaĥ.
Islamic brothers are allowed to wear only one silver-ring which weighs less than 4.5
Masha. There must be only one gem in the ring; they shouldn’t wear the ring without a
gem either; there is no limit for the weight of the gem. A stoneless ring of silver or any
other metal (even if it was made in Madīna-tul-Munawwaraĥ) cannot be worn. Similarly,
a ring made of any other metal (e.g. gold, copper, brass, steel etc.) except that of silver
with weight limitation described above cannot also be worn. For men to wear a chain
made of gold, silver or any metal around the neck is a sin. Islamic sisters may wear rings
and chains made of gold and silver. There is no limitation of weight or gem for them.
