# Wedding ring is a cultural or social practice. While it has nothing to do with Islam, there's no command to its forbiddance. Therefore, it is neither obligatory nor haram to wear it. It is not even a recommended act or an act we frown at as far as Islamic laws are concern. On the other hand, some used to speculate that wedding ring is Christianic. That is a plain lie. Wedding ring is an European culture just like suit (coat) and tie is their's.


# However, the fact that your husband gave it to you, that means he wants you to wear it. I don't know his intention but norms of our society is "recognition". A woman with wedding ring is recognised and generally believed to be a married woman, and society gives her more respect. And men are usually back off the tail of such women (except perverted men).

# In India, their culture is not wedding ring but a red spotted ink at the forehead of a woman, that signify married or engaged. And keeping of moustache for men indicate married men.

* So, please look for your wedding ring and put it on provided you can still find it or talk to your hubby to provide another if he still wants it on your finger. May Allah strengthen and bless your family.

Wa Salam alaykum.

Wedding ring is haram in islam, just thank Allah that you lost it and tell hub to stop wearing it

For anything to be tag Haram in Islam, Quran or Rasul must have declared it Haram exclusively. Kindly show us a single verse or a single Hadith (even if it is weak Hadith) that specifically say "wedding ring" is haram. Thanks

In as much as am trying not to be emotional on your response, am compelled to call you a jahil as there is no other way to say it more polite, ring is a culture associated with known muslims, that has root way bag to pagan romans (google should help you), thus is is an innovation to islam in it the least and an imitation of pagan culture. There is simply no hujja or prove that a muslim woman should where a ring, its alien to us and strongly discouraged. Remember the rasool s.a.w said whoever imitate a people would be among them,

Allaah has forbidden the Muslim to imitate the disbelievers, and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) spoke very sternly concerning that, as he said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (4031) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood. 

Wearing ring is not only alien to Christianity (though they know noting about their history) but a full pagan culture.

Secondly,

The prohibition on imitating the kuffaar applies only to that which is exclusively theirs and which is not common to them and the Muslims. 

What explains the meaning of exclusivity is that if the person who does that action is seen it would be said of him that he belongs to the group which we are forbidden to imitate. This can only apply to actions which are not done by anyone but that group. As for actions which are common to them and the Muslims, it is not correct to say that doing this is regarded as the forbidden type of imitation, because this action is not exclusive to them. 

Based on that, the rulings on things that are only forbidden because they are imitation of the mushrikeen vary according to time and place, and according to different traditions and customs. 

If that kind of clothing in a particular country is worn only by the kuffaar, then it is haraam for the Muslim to wear it in that country, but if in another country it is worn by both Muslims and kaafirs, then it is permissible to wear it in that country. Nowadays, wearing pants or suits is not exclusive to the kaafirs; rather they are worn by Muslims in most countries and they do not think that wearing it is imitation of the kaafirs, because it is not exclusively theirs. 

Based on this, wearing it is permissible and there is nothing wrong with it. 

We have previously quoted a fatwa of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas which says that it is permissible to wear pants and suits, and it is not imitation of the kuffaar. See the answer to question number 105412 and 105413. 

Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What is the guideline on the issue of imitating the kuffaar? 

He replied: 

Imitation of the kuffaar may be in appearance, clothing, food and other things because it is a general word which refers to a person doing something that is done exclusively by the kuffaar, in such a way that whoever sees him would think that he is one of the kuffaar. This is the guideline. But if the thing has become widespread among both Muslims and kaafirs, then this imitation is permissible, even if it was originally taken from the kuffaar, so long as it is not haraam in and of itself, such as wearing silk.

Stop displaying your extremism in a public forum like NL. Half baked knowledge is cancerous, look for knowledge and stop saying jargons.

YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A KAFIR AND A JAHIL EXTREMIST. FROM YOUR EXPOSITION, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE INTERNET INVENTED BY A PAGAN OR ATHEIST IN THE FIRST PLACE?
HYPOCRITE!
The response by Albaqir says it all in a more humane way than your boko haram version!

AlBaqir:

This is epic..kindly tell us in the entire quran or hadith that forbade us from eating human flesh...

There are three sources of legislation in islam,
The quran, sunnah and fiqh on issues based on sunna as extablish by the companions.
That been said the issue of ring is clearly a non islamic culture and the rasool has forbidden on that my verse thus goes
: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (4031) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood. 

Secondly,

The Muslims have no need to imitate any of the other nations in matters of religious rituals and acts of worship, for Allaah has perfected His religion and completed His Favour, and chosen for us Islam as our religion, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):  

“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion”

[al-Maa'idah 5:3] 

Finally,
It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you hand span by hand span, cubit by cubit, to the extent that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you will enter it too.” We said: “O Messenger of Allaah, (do you mean) the Jews and the Christians?” He said: “Who else?” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1397; Muslim, 4822. 

To the op always asked religous matters from learned people so as not to be misled by small ignorant people. May Allah contnue to guide you and us all. Ameen
And to bayhaqi its better to say I dont know if you dont. Its safer and wiser

I hope you are not trying to be apologetic about this by trying to appeal to the minds of the kufar. You need to ask why he referred to the use of wedding ring haram.

Before we can define something like use of wedding ring as halal, haram or makruh, we need to find out the genesis or the route of the use of wedding ring.

The route of the wedding ring started with European pagant culture. They believe the wedding ring helps to bind and strengthening the marriage. If that is the case, the use of wedding ring will be haram because it been tied to believe and power that is only in the Hands of Allah. Practicing such is tantamount to associating partner with Allah and automatically is disbelief in Allah.

I think what will all need to do first is to find out the origin of the use of wedding ring and the belief attached to it.

May Allah continues to keep us in His straight part. Wa Allah 'aalam.

I'm not here to appeal the minds anyone but to open the eyes of the extremist seeing everything good as against Islam.

Lol may Allah guide you. If only you knew the consequence of calling a muslim kafir.
Anyway noting is unexpected from an ignorant person. I have giving the op evidence from quran and sunnah for the questioned ask. Its up to him to act on guidance or self desire. Our hisab is with Allah afterall
