What hand do Egyptian men wear their wedding rings on...
A friend of mine wore a three rings on his right hand but said he wasn't married. A few of his other friends were also wearing the same rings. Is this an indication of marriage or is the a cultural or possibly related to religion (they are Muslim)?

What kind of cult worshipping would this represent?

Well, engaged people wear a ring on their right hand and once they get married they put it in their left hand ( the left side where the heart lies;) ). But nowadays young guys tend to wear rings u know trying to be cool!! It doesn't have anything to do with religion.. it's like a STYLE!!

Exodus is completely right, they DO change the rings from right to left. Prophet Muhammad didn't WEAR rings, He wore a gadget to in his finger SHAPED like a ring to put it in ink and then put it on a piece of paper to write his name.

engaged persons ( male or female ) wear a gold or silver ring on their right hands , married wear it in thier left hand
islam forbids men to wear gold so they wear silver rings
in all societies , men & women should show their marital status so they invented weddeing rings & its believed to be pharaonic habit which extended all over the world , just like many other things

I'm not sure about wedding rings. I don't think Muslims wear wedding rings in Egypt.
