Is it permissible for a man to give a woman a ring at the proposal or the marriage contract, or does this involve imitating the disbelievers?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a man to give a woman a ring for marriage at the proposal or at the marriage contract, or does this involve imitating the disbelievers?

Answer:
This is not among the customs of the Muslims; this is a custom that reached us from others. Also, the common practice is that it is accompanied by the belief that this is accompanied by a belief they call the "shabakah" (ring) that it links the love between the spouses. This is a false belief. Yes, if he wants to give it to her, he gives it to her on an occasion other than the marriage contract, other than the marriage contract of the nikah. He gives it to her before the contract or after the contract or after the consummation. He gives her whatever he wishes, as long as it does not contradict [the rules]. Yes.
