    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 89/89/B=1431)

     

    It is written in al-Dur al-Mukhtar:

    ولا یتختم إلا بالفضۃ فیحرم بغیرھا کحجر وصحح السرخسي جواز الیشب والعقیق الخ قال الشامي: فال في غرر الأفکار: والأصح أنہ لا باس بہ لأنہ علیہ الصلوۃ والسلام تختم بعقیق، وقال تختموا بالعقیق فإنہ مبارک، ولأنہ لیس بحجر إذ لیس فیہ ثقل الحجر (الشامی 5:229)

    The above text says that the Prophet ? صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ? took on ring made of agate (aqiq) and advised the same; therefore it is sunnah to wear such ring.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
