✅ Answer: Pay attention to the following hadith:

1 عَنِ السِّنْدِیِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِی الْبَخْتَرِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ أَنَّ عَلِیّاً رَأَی صَبِیّاً تَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ مُوسَی مِنْ حَدِیدٍ فَأَخَذَهَا فَرَمَی بِهَا وَ کَانَ یَکْرَهُ أَنْ یُلْبَسَ الصَّبِیُّ شَیْئاً مِنَ الْحَدِیدِ.

📚 Qurb al-Isnad p. 66.

Imam Sadiq (salawat Allah 'alayh) narrated from his father that Amir al-Mu'minin (salawat Allah 'alayh) saw a child with an iron blade under his head! The Imam picked it up and threw it away!

And he disliked for anything made of iron to be put on a child!

✅ According to the above hadith, putting any iron wear, such as a ring, necklace, bracelet, etc., on children is discouraged (makruh), and it is fitting to avoid this!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
