Question:
Honorable Sheikh, Assalam u Alaikum wa Rehmatullah!
I have heard that our beloved Syyedina Mustafa Sallallah o Alaihi Wasallam used to wear Turquoise (Sky Blue). In my country, Pakistan, there are many people who believe that the gemstone should be according to one’s Name, Date of Birth etc. and if not worn according to those conditions these stones may bring some difficulties.
My faith is that Allah the Almighty has the power to bring difficulties but not these stones. Please correct me if i am wrong.
I am wearing Turquoise gemstone in my ring due to my love for Syyedina Muhammad Sallallah o Alaihi wa-aalehi Wasallam.
Can you please guide me which gemstone should I use in my ring?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
We are not aware of any evidence that urges men to wear gemstones.
