480. Can Men Wear Gold Ring

By Asma Bint Shameem

 Yes it’s allowed for men to wear a ring of any metal except gold. 

That’s because the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam specifically forbade that for men. 

Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen was asked about men wearing rings made of platinum.

He said:

“This is allowed on two conditions:

That it is not an extravagance on the part of one who cannot afford to wear this kind of jewellery

That it should not cause any kind of fitnah (temptation), such as the man being young and perhaps causing fitnah by wearing it.

The basic principle with regard to clothing is that everything is permissible except gold rings, which are haraam for men as is well known.”

(Islamqa Fatwa # 4021)

And Allaah knows best.
