When i got engaged to my husband i didn't want a ring, I never wore jewelery except for my tongue ring which nobody ever saw anyway, About a yr after we were engaged i went home to Ireland for a holiday and when i was home there was a new claddagh ring that had been designed so i ordered 1 in my size and 1 in my husbands size, their lovely they are silver but in the centre there is a little gold around a cut out shape of a heart.

Anyway I didn't know that Muslim men didn't wear gold I bought it as i always loved and had a claddagh and i wanted the new design so anyway i gave it to my husband and he wears it on his wedding finger. then when we where getting married he bought me my wedding band and bought the the mans size too, he to this day wears his 2 bands on the 1 finger and doesn't remove them, even if he goes to morocco to his family. he keeps them on, nothing would make him take them off. I happy that he keeps them on to because it shows respect for me, if he ever took them off now i think my i'd faint with shock.

I mean what's the issue with a ring, they drink, they smoke, are more Christian than Christians and that's worse than a bit of gold on their hand and also for those of ye who have been financially taken advantage of that is 1 of their worst sins........ It is unacceptable to rob from other religions, so they'l go to the big hell fire with r without the little band of gold.
