IS WEARING OF RINGS BY COUPLES PERMISSIBLE IN ISLAM?

Q: Pls can couples exchange rings during introduction islamically?

A: Rings do not have religious significance in Islam. Exchanging them between soon to be married couples is related to a cultural norm.

In other hand; The introduction/engagement ring is a kind of ring, and there is nothing wrong with rings in principle, unless that is accompanied by some belief. Such as it protects them from evils or it will create strong bonds between the couple etc. In this case(s), this ring is haraam, because it is an attachment to something for which there is no basis in Islam and which makes no sense. Similarly, with regard to the introduction/engagement ring, it is not permissible to the man to put it on his fiancée’s hand, because she is not his wife yet until after the marriage contract has been done.

Hope I answered the question?
Allah Knows Better!!!
