What is the difference between the wedding ring & engagement ring & on which hand should ring be put?
Answer
Islam does not recognise a wedding ring or an engagement ring. These are customs of the kuffaar.
Women are allowed to wear rings of gold and silver while men can wear a silver ring weighing less than 4.3 grams. A ring can be worn on any hand.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
