Not able to install any gem including SASS using RubyGems from terminal

I am in need of using Sass in my web design projects. Whenever I want to install Sass using terminal an error appears as below:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=unknown state (https://rubygems.global.ssl.fastly.net/quick/Marshal.4.8/sass-3.4.19.gemspec.rz)

I've tried updating SSL certificate update as explained in RubyGems Guides and I still have the error.

Actually, once I want to access any gem, I confront the error.

This is because of SSL security reasons, Try this Command
gem sources -a http://rubygems.org/
Do you want to add this insecure source? [yn]
give y and then give install command

UPDATE:

How to fix error and get back to https with ssl:

gem sources -r https://rubygems.org/ - to temporarily remove secure connection

gem sources -a http://rubygems.org/ - to add an insecure connection with ruby

gem update --system - now you will be able to update rubygems without SSL

after updating rubygems you can do this vice versa

gem sources -r http://rubygems.org/ - to remove insecure connection

gem sources -a https://rubygems.org/ - add secure connection

Now you're able to update gems using secure connection.

gem update
