Question:
Assalamualaikum
Dear brothers, I have heard that muslim men can wear only silver rings of a weight of 4 grams but I see many ulema wearing rings which look like more than 4 grams. As I am studying jewelry making its easy for me to identify that. InshAllah I might become a jeweller.is it fine for me to sell jewelery to men and why do our ulema wear rings more than 4 grams. Is there any consensus or understanding for this. May Allah subhanAllahu wa taala bless u all.
Answer:
`Alaikum Essalamu,
Muslim men are not allowed to wear gold but as far as I know there is no limitation to 4 grams of silver for the rings. Silver rings are in general allowed for men and women alike.
