📜 Question: Is wearing a ring for the women a bid'ah that is derived from Christian customs? Because I have read that the wedding ring or engagement ring is just for the man even if it is made from silver. Is this correct?
📝 Answer: The ring which the questioner is asking about we do not know of any basis for it (in Islam). And it appears to us that wearing such a ring (to display that one is married or engaged) is similar to resembling some unbelievers, as it is from their customs, according to what we were informed. Thus it is better to not take it as your own practice. What signals (or indicates) marriage is through official engagement and formal agreement between the one proposing and the proposed, and that is sufficient without requiring any special ring. And once the marital rites have been sealed or finalized, all matters have been accomplished, so there is no need for a wedding or engagement ring (to prove one's marital status), specially if this is one way of imitating the practices of the enemies of Allah the Almighty. It is imperative to avoid copying the misguided ways of those who oppose Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala as much as possible.
