In Islam, men are encouraged to wear rings on the pinky finger (little finger), preferably on the left hand, while it is disliked (Makruh) for them to wear rings on the index and middle fingers, as instructed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Women, however, have more freedom and can wear rings on any finger, including the index, middle, or ring finger, as adornment is permissible for them.
The Muslim religion allows a man to wear his ring on his little finger. The law also insists that wearing it on the index and middle fingers is detestable. As the following hadith reported after 'Ali proves. "The Prophet said to me: 'O 'Ali!

In Islam, raising the index finger (al-musabbiha) symbolizes Tawhid, the indivisible oneness of God (Allah), signifying "There is no god but God," and is a core part of the Islamic declaration of faith (Shahada) said during prayer (Salah).

While wedding rings are not a religious requirement in Islam, they have become an important cultural tradition for Muslim couples around the world. Exchanging rings during the Nikah ceremony symbolizes a commitment to a lifelong partnership, love, and trust.
The engagement ring finger is traditionally the fourth finger of the left hand, stemming from the ancient Roman belief in the vena amoris (vein of love) connecting it to the heart, though this is anatomically inaccurate.
