The engagement ring (Shabka) is the sole right of the suitor if the engagement is broken, regardless of whether the breakup was due to him or the fiancée, unless the fiancée's family stipulated otherwise. The majority of scholars hold that the aforementioned condition is not binding, and they stipulate that conditions must be an integral part of the contract or appended to it. Therefore, it is obligatory to return the engagement ring to the suitor if the engagement is broken, unless he waives it.
