Mariama said:In Islam women and men do not wear a wedding ring as this is an innovation, it has nothing to do with anything, a ring does not bind two people together...
I heard from my husband that a former Christian preacher (now Muslim)
said the wedding ring comes from the nuns who marry christ (may Allah guide them).
The first finger represents is the father
the second finger represents the son
the third finger (wedding finger) represents the spirit...
And that is why the ring is now worn by everyone, but I do not obviously know whether this is reason, but I guess he would know...
Wedding rings are not from Islam so therefore we do not have them.
On the authority of Aishah, who said : The messenger of Allah said:
"He who innovates something in this matter of ours that is not of it will have it rejected." ( narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
The ring represents continuing love and devotion. Never ending.
