@ZareenKhan

In Islam, their is no concept of Engagements but in our society they are as good as marriage i suppose.

@Innocent_Smile

true there is no concept of engagement in Islam and our society has adopted it as a fashion.

Don’t toss out fatwas if you are not a scholar. Engagement is very much a part of Islam:

It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) got engaged to ‘Aa’ishah. (Al-Bukhaari, al-Nikaah, 4793). And in al-Saheeh it also states that the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) got engaged to Hafsah. (Al-Bukhaari, al-Nikaah, 4830).

“And there is no sin on you if you make a hint of betrothal…”

[al-Baqarah 2:235]
