The husband and wife putting on gold rings and believing it to be a covenant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from the Arab Republic of Egypt says: Regarding marriage, Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on the husband putting a gold ring on his wife, and the wife putting a gold ring on her husband? Some people believe that such an act is considered a covenant between them not to separate and to protect them from accidents and sorcery.
Answer:
The covenant is the valid legal contract between them consisting of the offer and acceptance. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:154] The covenant is the valid marriage contract. As for putting on rings, this has no basis. If one believes that it brings love, that is a belief of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is not permissible. Another matter is putting a gold ring on the husband's son; this is forbidden. It is not permissible for males to wear gold rings; this is specific to women. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.

The covenant is the valid legal contract between them consisting of the offer and acceptance. Allah the Exalted said:
on the sabbath", and We took from them a solemn covenant.
