Some people say it's a sin to wear a rosary because misusing a prayer tool as a fashioto make a fashipn statement is disrespectful.
When did Jesus say pray with the rosary?
Jesus never said pray the rosary. The Church has come up with the prayer of the rosary to the virgin Mary.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Rosary recalls important events in the life of Our Blessed Lord, He didn't say the Rosary, He lived it. Our Blessed Lord sent His Mother to earth to give us the form of the Rosary that we have today, she appeared to St. Dominic, who founded the Dominican Order, and gave him the Rosary in order to convert the heretics that he was preaching to. As the rosary is primarily mental prayer on the Mysteries (the events in the life of Our Blessed Lord, and His Mother) it is a wonderful way to learn basic prayer. You should learn it well, and stick with it your whole life.

It is not only appropriate but highly recommended. In fact, after the last rites, there is no devotion more highly recommended.

When visiting the sick and dying it is very common to say a decade of the Rosary with them or for them and to give them a rosary if they do not have one. It is very common to bury a Catholic holding a Rosary; this is not for mere appearances - it is to be hoped the Rosary was actually used in life by the deceased or said for them and it is buried with them as a sign of their devotion and confidence to others in Mary's promise to work for the salvation of those devoted to her patronage.
