Aqeeq, akik or aqiq (Arabic: العقيق‎) means quartz in Arabic, and agate in Turkish, however in the context of rings usually refers to a ring set with a chalcedony stone. Well-known types of chalcedony are carnelian, agate, and onyx.

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?

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.

Shirk . Aqeeq . Ring . Stone . God (Allah)

Is it not a kind of shirk to wear an Aqeeq ring stone? Are we not supposed to depend on Allah only?

Wearing Aqeeq is recommended according to authentic Hadeeths. It is not Shirk at all to wear Aqeeq because we never think that the Aqeeq is partner of Allah in any way. Allah kept certain benefits in certain things in His creatures. Benefits of wearing Aqeeq is a gift from Allah.

Wassalam.

Aqeeq . Stone . Ring

Is a black Aqeeq stone as good as the red one in terms of the benefits of wearing it on a ring?

Bismihi ta'ala

I have read about the positive benefits of black aqiq stone, but not from our Islamic heritage. As far as the highly recommended and very mustahab stone that should be worn, it is the red aqiq. They usually refer to this 'red aqiq' as a aqiq kabadi, which means liver colour aqiq.

That would be the best ring to get, with this specific colour.

With prayers for your success.

Ring . Aqeeq

I understand that Aqeeq stone is highly recommended to wear in Islam. Does the size of the stone matter? Some rings in the market contain multiple small size stones. Does the small size affect the amount of benefits?

Size of the stone does not effect the reward of wearing it.
