The Prophet then ascended the pulpit, and after glorifying and praising Allah, he said, "I had it made for me, but now I will never wear it again." He threw it away, and then the people threw away their rings too. (Juwairiya, a sub-narrator, said: I think Anas said that the Prophet was wearing the ring in his right hand.)
Bukhari , Volume 7, Book 72, Number 765:

that when Abu Bakr became the Caliph, he wrote a letter to him (and stamped it with the Prophet's ring) and the engraving of the ring was in three lines: Muhammad in one line, 'Apostle' in another line, and 'Allah' in a third line. Anas added: 'the ring of the Prophet was in his hand, and after him, in Abu Bakr's hand, and then in 'Umar's hand after Abu Bakr. When Uthman was the Caliph, once he was sitting at the well of Aris. He removed the ring from his hand and while he was trifling with it, dropped into the well. We kept on going to the well with Uthman for three days looking for the ring, and finally the well was drained, but the ring was not found.

Sallam alaykum,
Abu Zola ,i really enjoyed this topic. I believe people will be more informed now.Naturally i dont like wearing rings,chains and all sort of ornaments but i dress well. If not for time management i dont cherish wristwatch,in short i like being free but my wife accused me of not wearing ring as a sign that i dont want girls to know that i'm married.
May be i will encourage her to find time for this forum so that she can clarify whatever bethers her mind on the religion.

Re: The Ring : Ring And Islam, All You Need To Know by experts: 4:12pm On Jul 26, 2010
In response to ur question about prohibition of necklace for men.

Praise be to Allaah.



‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al’Aas reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever of my ummah wears gold and dies wearing it, Allaah will deny him the gold of Paradise. Whoever of my ummah wears silk and dies wearing it, Allaah will deny him the silk of Paradise." (Reported by Imaam Ahmad).

‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbaas reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw a gold ring on a man’s hand. He took it off and threw it aside, saying, "Would any of you take a burning coal and hold it in his hand?" When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had gone away, someone said to the man, "Take your ring and benefit from it (i.e., sell it)." He said, "No, by Allaah, I will not take it after the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has thrown it away." (reported by Muslim, no. 2090).

This prohibition applies to men only, not to women, as ‘Ali, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) took a piece of silk in his right hand and a piece of gold in his left, and said: "These are forbidden for the males of my ummah." (reported by al-Nisaa’i and Abu Dawud).

Gold is permitted for women because of their delicate and gentle nature, and their need for adornment. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "(Do they then like for Allaah) a creature who is brought up in adornments (wearing gold and silk ornaments, i.e., women), and in dispute cannot make herself clear?" [al-Zukhruf 43:18]


The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also said: "Wearing silk and gold is permitted for the women of my ummah and prohibited for the males." (Reported by Imaam Ahmad)


As for men, it is a sign of instability and an unmasculine nature to adorn oneself with gold. Islaam wants the differences between the sexes to be marked clearly, and their distinct characteristics to stand out, because when they resemble one another, much corruption results therefrom. The prohibition of gold for men includes pure gold, gold alloys, cut pieces, joined pieces, gold inlay, etc. As for gold-plating and gilding, some scholars are of the opinion that such articles are forbidden for men if it is possible to extract gold from them (by peeling or shaving off, for example); if no gold can be extracted from it, then such items are permitted. Some scholars say that it is not permitted to wear an item which is wholly or mostly gold-plated, but if only a little part of it is gold-plated (like the hands of a watch, or the numerals, or the tiny points denoting numbers), then it is permitted to wear it. They say that the issue is its appearance, not its value: if the gold-plating is very obvious and covers everything, it is not permitted, because many people will not make the distinction between gold-plate and real gold, and some may follow this person’s example and begin to wear pure gold. And Allaah knows best.


dont know about silver but jewellery is jewellery is it not,,, maybe some further research is needed, brother u dont want to sin for the sake of a lil ring,
Re: The Ring : Ring And Islam, All You Need To Know by experts: 4:17pm On Jul 26, 2010
It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (24/77): Wearing rings is permissible for men if they are made of silver or precious stones, except for gold. End quote.

It is permissible for a man to wear rings and watches that contain precious metals or stones – other than gold – such as diamonds, because the basic principle is that they are permissible, and there is no evidence to suggest that that is not allowed, unless they are part of women’s jewellery such as bracelets and necklaces, in which case that is not allowed.



Thirdly:

You should advise your friend and explain to him that it is haraam for men to wear earrings, and that doing so includes a number of things that are haraam: (i) wearing something that contains gold; (ii) imitating women; (iii) imitating the kuffaar, because it is the custom in some kaafir societies for men to wear earrings. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (4031); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.


Fourthly:

It is not permissible for a man to wear women’s jewellery, such as bracelets, necklaces and earrings, whether they are made of gold, silver or anything else, because that is imitating women, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women. This has been discussed in the answer to question no.1980

We ask Allaah to guide us and you.

And Allaah knows best.


here the answer from scholar
Re: The Ring : Ring And Islam, All You Need To Know by zubeyr(m): 3:58am On Dec 03, 2010
There is no text in the Koran or Hadith that prohibited a Muslim man from wearing necklace or ring as long as it not made from gold
yeah there is Hadith that stated that cursed is the  man that make himself looks like woman and cursed is the woman that makes herself look like man
so I will say it all depend on someone culture and how they define male and female wear so please dont mix culture with Islam
If your ibo culture says that necklace worn by male would make him look female then just stay away it would be haram since only woman wear it but if is not so is halal for you to wear it Islam has always being flexible and accommodating people cultures it is what we call in Arabic ''Urf "(known and familiar customs ) is like a Muslim Scottish  won't be cursed because in their "urf" ( customs) men wear skirt but for an Arab man it  would be
prohibited (Haram) because in the Arab culture only women wear skirt  and therefore it would make him look like woman

Salam

I am surprised that you are drumming your support for men wearing necklace as long as their culture allows. One thing we should at the back of our mind is that ISLAM is totally different from CULTURE. Bringing culture into Islam is what leads to deviation which could be called Innovation (Bidah). The holy Prophet (saw) said we cannot accept the two together, it is either we accept Bidah or Sunnah because those  who indulge in Bidah are not practising Islam as it ought to be.

For example, the one that came to my mind as I am typing is that of prostration during Nikkah. It is well known that on no account must we prostrate for anybody and it is not until we prostrate that we show respect for the elderly but some would say no, it is the culture and you must do it.

Another is killing of cows and throwing parties at a funeral which Islam does not support but when you tell people, they would tell that that is how they have been doing it and one should just accept (CULTURE AGAIN).

On the issue at hand, culture can never supercede the sayings/doings of the prophet. We should also know that there was culture during the prophet's time but he did bring it into Islam because he knew the implication. It has been said that necklace, be it gold or silver is for women and it is for beautification because of their feminity and wearing necklace by men is like copying them and men should never try to look like women and vice versa.

Please, on no account must Culture come before Sunnah,Hadith of the Holy Prophet (saw) as it leads to Bidah.


@LeoChinedu

Salam and I heartily welcome to the fold of Islam. I acepted the call years back and even posted my reversion story. I had to stop there because we should not try to make Islam look difficult for reverts but should be a gradual process. As you proceed, there are some things that you would drop in which you might have been doing before accepting Islam just like prophets took their time in preaching oneness of Allah . They took time preaching because they know that foundation is very key and when that is there, others would be imbibed gradually.

Once again, you are welcome. Feel free to ask any questions bothering you and you would be enlightened.

Maa Salam.

Thank you for your input and good intention If you read my post again you will see that I reiterate once again that as Muslims we shouldn't be mixing  Islam and culture despite that we all come from different backgrounds and variety of cultural norms values and beliefs we abandoned most of these
values and surrendered to Islamic doctrine which created among us an unified outlook and culture that why the Prophet referred to us as one Ummah  (Nation) I am glad you recognized also that the Prophet SAW brought some part of local cultures  into Islam and so did most Muslim scholars throughout  the world I agree with you that the culture can't supercede Koran and Sunnah 
There is something called "Urf" referred to as customs and practices of given society most scholars agreed that "urf" holds as much authorithy as
Ijma (consensus) and more than "Qiyas"(analogy) as long as it doesn't violate provision from the Koran or the Sunnah and I think clearly Leo 's necklace fits in that category I read the Koran cover to cover thousand time and there is no verse that stated or alluded that a man can't wear 
jewelry I will be glad to bring me a  proof stating otherwise

Re: The Ring : Ring And Islam, All You Need To Know by zubeyr(m): 12:05pm On Dec 08, 2010
@Babs I ask you to bring me the proof that wearing Necklace is Haram and since you can't produce it I think you have to drop the argument
For the cigarette Islamic scholars had mixed views about tobacco and until recently there are not been clear Fatwa (legal opinion ) to allow or forbid cigarette smoking hence one can 't find a verse of the Koran or Hadith saying clearly that cigarette smoking is forbidden but today as the danger of tobacco use has come to be proven beyond any doubt some scholars start to think it is Haram but I don't see here the correlation between smoking and wearing necklace do you?
As for your question why a man would wear necklace ? honestly I don't know since I don't wear one
@uplawal your view on the matter doesn't make any difference
