💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
🗒️ Five reasons why I do not believe in wearing engagement and wedding rings:
1] Even if one's husband can afford to purchase jewelry, it is better to refrain from wearing wedding rings to avoid imitating the unbelievers who put them on, many of whom wrongly assume that such objects bring "good fortune" or as long as you have your wedding ring your marriage life remains blessed.
2] There is no evident command from Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala in the Noble Qur'an and Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam for Muslim males and females to wear wedding rings. If wearing a wedding ring isn't mandatory nor a recommended Sunnah, why feel obliged to do something which could imply indirectly imitating the customs of some non-Muslims?
3] There are no textual proofs and clear evidence which mention how any of the wives of the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam, as well as the female Sahaabiyyaat RadhiAllahu 'anhun, wore special accessories to indicate they're married.
4] Besides the fact that some individuals find wearing rings uncomfortable, slightly heavy at times or distracting, it can cause additional stress and unnecessary anxiety when one's wedding ring gets lost or stolen, especially if it cost a lot.
5] I believe that loving my dear husband for Allah's sake is way deeper and more meaningful than what a tiny ring is designed to portray. While several adults claim to be happily married with a flashy wedding ring on, if they had the chance to commit adultery without penalty, plenty of them may not hesitate.
True love for Allah's sake as a faithful wife, whether you're in a monogamous or polygynous marriage, isn't limited to signing marriage contracts, making audible vows and showcasing an expensive wedding ring. It's a lot more than that.
