Is it permissible to wear gemstone rings in Islam?
A Brief Description of the Question:
Is it permissible to wear gemstone rings in Islam?
The Answer:
As narrated by Hazrat Anas, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had a silver gemstone ring and its stone was Abyssinian gem. (Muslim, Libas, 61). Some scholars said the stone was cornelian. As its mine was in Abyssinia, it was named so. (see Nawawi, explanation of the related hadith).
In some narrations, cornelian was clearly stated and that the phrase “the gemstone of the ring was cornelian” was used (see Nawawi, explanation of the related hadith).
It is unobjectionable for both men and women to wear gemstone rings set with gems such as cornelian, emerald, ruby and chrysolite. It is stated that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) wore a gemstone set with an Abyssinian gemstone. On the other hand, it is expressed that it is makrooh (abominable) for men to wear gemstone rings with more than one stone. (al-Hawi lil-Fatawi, 1/115-116; Fatawi-i Hindiyya, 5/335).
It is permissible to wear rings on both hands. Rings can be worn on the little finger or the finger next to it. They are the appropriate ones. Nevertheless, it is not a sin to wear rings on other fingers, either.
