Wearing an Engagement Ring
This enters under the saying of the Messenger - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam:
\'Indeed incantations, amulets and Tiwalah1 (a form of magic) are Shirk.\'
Collected by Ahmad and Abu Dawood.
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Uthaymeen -rahimullaah - gave the example that an engagement ring is a Tiwalah and he explained:
\'If the people believe that it can benefit or harm, then with this intention it is from the minor Shirk, and even if this intention is not there - and this is highly unlikely that he does not have this intention - it is resemblance of the Christians since it is taken from them.\'
[Al-Qawl al-Mufeed ala Kitaab al Tawheed 1 /228-229]
