What is the ruling on wearing the engagement ring

Question : What is the ruling on wearing the ring for a woman and a man, called the engagement ring or the wedding ring, O Shaykh?

Answer : I do not know of anything wrong with wearing rings, except if it is based on a belief. If it is based on a belief, meaning that the husband believes that keeping this ring on his finger means his wife remains in his protection, and likewise the wife, then this is not permissible and is not correct. How many people wear a ring with this belief and then separate from their wife, and how many people do not wear a ring while being with their wife in the best of conditions. So this is a false belief. Some of the noble scholars of knowledge have mentioned that the origin of the ring is taken from the Christians. Therefore, it is not befitting for us to call it a "dublah" or to hold this belief, but rather we call it a ring without any belief. May Allah reward you, thank you to the sister questioner.
