AL-KAFI #1272: HUKUM MENGAMBIL WUDUK DENGAN MEMAKAI CINCIN
Is ablution valid while wearing a ring, and how should it be done?
Short answer
Ablution is valid for a person wearing a ring. If the ring is tight and it cannot be confirmed that water reaches the skin beneath it, the ring must be moved so that water touches the skin.

Summary
Ablution is valid for a person wearing a ring. If the ring is tight and it cannot be confirmed that water reaches the skin beneath it, the ring must be moved so that water touches the skin. For a loose ring, the fatwa encourages moving it as well to avoid scholarly disagreement, since the majority view it as recommended while the Malikis do not require it even for a tight ring. For tayammum, the majority hold that the ring must be removed so the dust reaches the skin.
