Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a woman wearing what is called the marriage ring or the engagement ring, where some have said that this is from the customs of the disbelievers? Is this correct, or is it permissible?
Answer:
It is from the customs of the disbelievers. Some Muslim societies do this. If they believe that it causes love, it is not permissible; this is a defective belief. If it is merely a custom prevalent among them and they do not believe that it causes love, then this custom is not binding. Yes.
