What is the ruling on the actions of the aforementioned girl, such as her immodest appearance before the suitor, her not wearing the hijab in front of him, her extravagance in demanding gifts, her being in seclusion with him, and her going out with him without a mahram? And does the sin fall upon the girl, the young man, or the parents, given that what occurred was an engagement and the marriage contract has not yet been concluded?

The ceremony held for the engagement, during which the fiancée appeared in revealing attire, and the meeting of the engaged couple alone without a barrier, and their going together in a car – all of these are forbidden and sinful acts. Accepting and requesting gifts is not permissible if it serves as a means to what is unlawful. If the marriage does not take place, the suitor is not entitled to reclaim the gifts unless the refusal came from the fiancée's side. Wearing a ring for an engagement or marriage has no basis in Islamic law. The responsibility for these actions is shared between the parents, due to Allah's saying: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire," and between the engaged couple, due to Allah's saying: "Every soul, for what it earned, is retained."
