Q: If a couple get engaged, but have not yet performed the nikkah, is it permissible for the woman to wear an engagement ring in public?
A: It is permissible to go to the house in order to confirm the proposal. However, having an engagement function for this purpose is an unfounded practice. The Sunnah is that when a match is found, then the nikaah should be performed. Delaying in performing the nikaah is against the Sunnah. To put on the ring at the engagement function is a christian custom and hence should be discarded.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
