Weddingbee boards

im a little confused.

isnt that not allowed? perhaps harram?

or is that an optional thing.

ive been seeing lots of nikah where they do exchange rings

and sometimes not on ring finger, instead its on middle finger or right hand etc

or one senario was seeing the woman wearing the ring BEFORE the nikah and her sister help her put it on (huh? why? now its its ok for the sister to put it on?)

is any of the above allowed? or it depends to individuals?

@fafaa22:  Salam sister. If i were in your position, I'd go back to referring what is taught to us from the Quran and sunnah, and take only among the authentic hadeeth & sunnah, and from there, insya allah your journey towards marriage will be full of blessing by The Maker. :) 

Just to share with you my experience here in malaysia. For the nikah ceremony, we do exchange rings to each other, after the nikah (you are halal for each other), we will put on the rings for each other, and often times we exchange trays of gifts. For the ring, we usually give diamond rings to the women, and I am going for yellow gold as it is sunnah for the women to wear gold. This is entirely up to you what you prefer. Some men may be honest and say they really don't want to wear a ring, that's totally fine. As for which finger to wear a ring, I believe there is a hadeeth that said it's better to wear a ring on your fourth finger (ring finger? i dont know what it's called haha) and to avoid wearing it on your middle finger. So I choose to wear on my right hand, on the ring finger. Again, if people question traditions and what not, why don't you wear your wedding ring on your left hand, my answer is very simple; I always like to receive with my right hand, not my left. so to wear my wedding ring which i received from my husband and wear it on my left... it seems a bit unpleasant to me, personally. Other cultures would usually wear it on their left, that's up to them. it's truly a matter of what you choose. :) 

lastly, i've never heard of such a thing whereby the bride wears the wedding ring BEFORE the akad ceremony. I suppose it differs with culture and places.  

Though of course the prophet (peace be upon him) never did such customs of exchanging gifts for his own beloved daughter, here in malaysia we just incorporated that tradition for the sake of we want to give presents to each other as newlyweds, and also to share the love with one another.  

Take care. Salam ~ :)
