What is the ruling on what is done at the engagement before marriage, which is called the shabakah, where the husband gives his wife a gold set?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on what is done at the engagement before marriage, which is called the shabakah, which is a gold set that the husband gives his wife as a gift, and then he dresses her in it? Is there anything forbidden in this?

Answer:
If one believes that this is a cause for love, this is not permissible, this is not permissible. If one believes that the shabakah causes love, and that leaving it off causes hatred, then this is not permissible; this is a false belief.
As for if one does not believe this, then it is blind imitation that has no benefit. So leaving off the shabakah, in any case, leaving off the shabakah and dressing in it, there is no doubt that this is the best and obligatory, and to stay away from it, because it is either a false belief or imitation of others, so it must be left. And if you want to give your wife gold or something else, do so by a method other than this; give it to her by a method other than this. Yes.
