✅ Answer: Consider the following narration:

عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ حَرِیزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ کَیْفَ یَغْتَسِلُ الْجُنُبُ فَقَالَ إِنْ لَمْ یَکُنْ أَصَابَ کَفَّهُ شَیْ ءٌ غَمَسَهَا فِی الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ بَدَأَ بِفَرْجِهِ فَأَنْقَاهُ بِثَلَاثِ غُرَفٍ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَی رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ أَکُفٍّ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَی مَنْکِبِهِ الْأَیْمَنِ مَرَّتَیْنِ وَ عَلَی مَنْکِبِهِ الْأَیْسَرِ مَرَّتَیْنِ فَمَا جَرَی عَلَیْهِ الْمَاءُ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَهُ

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 43

Zurarah said: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) how a person in a state of janabah should perform ghusl. The Imam replied: If there is no impurity on his hand, he dips it into the water and first uses three handfuls of water to clean his private parts. Then he pours three handfuls of water over his head, followed by two handfuls on his right shoulder and two handfuls on his left shoulder. After these actions, any part of the body that water touches is sufficient to purify it.

Explanation: It is clear that the areas where water is poured do not require touching, and the areas that remain dry should be touched with the hand.

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْرَ

Question 33: Is it problematic for a man to wear a platinum ring and pray while wearing it?

✅ Answer: It is known from the narrations that wearing a gold ring and praying with it is prohibited for men, including the following:

1⃣عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ أُکَیْلٍ النُّمَیْرِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِی حدیث قال: جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الذَّهَبَ فِی الدُّنْیَا زِینَةَ النِّسَاءِ فَحَرَّمَ عَلَی الرِّجَالِ لُبْسَهُ وَ الصَّلَاةَ فِیهِ الْحَدِیثَ

📚 Tahdhib, Vol. 2, p. 227

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said in a narration: Allah has made gold a decoration for women in this world and has made wearing it and praying with it forbidden for men.

Today, platinum is referred to as white gold, but these two metals are different, and the rulings for gold should not be applied to platinum. However, based on the following narration, generally, wearing a non-silver ring is prohibited:

2⃣عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ لَا تَخَتَّمُوا بِغَیْرِ الْفِضَّةِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلی الله علیه و آله قَالَ مَا طَهُرَتْ کَفٌّ فِیهَا خَاتَمُ حَدِیدٍ

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 468

Amir al-Mu’minin (peace be upon him) said: Do not wear rings other than silver because the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: The hand that wears an iron ring is not pure.

Based on the two mentioned narrations, wearing a platinum ring is prohibited, but its ruling is different from that of gold.

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْرَ
