Published in: Shumara al-Sunnah, Jhelum

Question:
What is the ruling on exchanging rings at the time of engagement?

Answer:
Exchanging rings during engagement is a custom of the Christians and not a tradition of Muslims.
It involves imitating the disbelievers, which is forbidden (ḥarām) in Islam.

Furthermore, gold rings are commonly used during such events, and gold is prohibited for men in Islam.
