When wearing a ring such as Aqeeq or Firoza, is it necessary for the stone to make contact with the skin and not have any obstruction, such as the ring's metal, between the stone and the finger in order to get its Islamic benefits?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

No, it does not necessarily need to be making contact with the skin. The istihbab is in the wearing of such stones, and even having them on you is of benefit as well. 

And Allah knows best. 
I was told that before wearing a Feroza ring I have to ask a scholar and find out if it is suitable for me or not. Is that true?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Not true. We don't have such condition in our authentic Hadeeths from the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Wassalam.
Can I wear a ring, without Wudu, that has الله engraved on it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Wearing such ring with out Wudhu is allowed as far as you don't touch the engraved name of Allah on it.

Can you share any narration from any Imam talking about making Masah of a piece of cloth, ring or water bottle with the Zareeh of any Imam in order to give it blessing?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Quranic verses in Sura Yousuf are the strongest evidence in this matter.

Prophet Yousuf told his brothers: Take this shirt of mine and cast it on the face of my father, he will turn clear-sighted. (12:93).

'We have many authentic narrations on the blessings which can be obtained by touching (Masah) of blessed items like Black stone, Zareeh of most humble servants of Allah, Quranic text, etc.

Wassalam.
