Summary
A man may not wear a suasa ring, as it is ruled haram. Suasa is an alloy of gold and copper, and gold is forbidden as adornment for men based on hadith. The ruling applies the maxim that the haram prevails when halal and haram are combined, and follows al-Nawawi's view that the most correct position is prohibition even when the gold can no longer be detected after melting. Men are permitted to wear silver rings.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
kami berpendapat bahawa pemakaian cincin suasa bagi lelaki adalah haram dan tidak dibolehkan.
