Summary
Wearing a ring inscribed with the name of Allah or the Messenger is permissible, provided the wearer protects it from anything that may be seen as disrespectful or defiling to those honoured names. Based on the hadith that the Prophet removed his ring when entering the toilet, the jurists state that it is recommended to remove items bearing the name of Allah beforehand. The Shafii scholars agree that removal is recommended but not obligatory, while some scholars regard going in with it as disliked.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan riwayat di atas, maka diharuskan bagi seseorang itu untuk memakai cincin yang tertera padanya kalimah Allah atau Rasulullah.
