Is wearing a ring with an aqiq stone a sunnah?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Some says that Prophet Rasul(SA) was wearing a ring with aqiq stone and it is sunnah to wear the same.I see lot of old learned maulavees wearing the ring with aqiq stone.What is your opinion?

Answer

(Fatwa: 89/89/B=1431)

It is written in al-Dur al-Mukhtar:

ولا یتختم إلا بالفضۃ فیحرم بغیرھا کحجر وصحح السرخسي جواز الیشب والعقیق الخ قال الشامي: فال في غرر الأفکار: والأصح أنہ لا باس بہ لأنہ علیہ الصلوۃ والسلام تختم بعقیق، وقال تختموا بالعقیق فإنہ مبارک، ولأنہ لیس بحجر إذ لیس فیہ ثقل الحجر (الشامی 5:229)

The above text says that the Prophet ? صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ? took on ring made of agate (aqiq) and advised the same; therefore it is sunnah to wear such ring.
