What is the Ruling on Wearing a Steel Watch or Ring
Question :
Does wearing a watch made from steel fall under the Beneral prohibition against fearing steel and risht permissible to wear a watch on one's right hand?
Question :
There is no fault in wearing a watch on the left or right A hand, just as is the case with the ring. It is confirmed that the Prophet would sometimes wear his ring on his left hand, and sometimes on his right one. And it is permissible to wear a ring or watch made from steel. The Prophet ﷺ established this when he said to the suitor (who needed to give a dowry),
"Look about you, even if it is a steel ring (that you find)."
The narration that indicates a prohibition is peculiar, as it is contrary to this authentic Hadith.
