Question

Is it permissible to wear imitation jewellery or silicon rings?

Answer

We assume that your query pertains to females in particular. Females are permitted to wear rings that are made of gold and silver only. However, they are permitted to wear other jewellery (such as necklaces, bracelets etc.) that is made of other metals. Wearing rings made of silicon will, therefore, not be permitted.

Males are permitted to wear rings of silver only, which should not exceed 4.374g in weight.

ولا يتختم الرجل الا بفضة اما لا يتختم بالذهب للحديث المعروف وكذا التختم بالحديد لانه خاتم اهل النار ( فتاوي قاضي خان علي هامش الفتاوي الهندية ص413 ج3)
