**In ISLAM **
Is Engagement Nikah ?
If not then why Religiously the Individuals are allowed for interaction and very close relationship ?
If Engagement is Nikah then what is Marriage ?
To break Engagement do one need Divorce ?
are there some types of Engagements ?
If some one here on GS can give some ethentic information , I will do pray for him/her.
Jazak Allah.
Re: IS ENGAGEMENT NIKAH ?
so basically, if “engagement” has the same process as nikkah then yes.. but it’s different per situation. for example, i got “engaged” when my mother spoke to girl’s mother and agreed. done. that’s not nikkah but an engagement. for ur situation u have to speak a local scholar and explain what exactly happened.
Re: IS ENGAGEMENT NIKAH ?
no engagement is only a verbal agreement of marriage.
ppl do it bcz they do not follow/learn what islam actually teaches but they follow what hindus and christians do.
as engagement is not nikah...(where a bride wud stay at parents home and not be in physical relation with husband) this nikah and rukhsati late does not have any thing to do in islam.(i think) as it cud lead to trouble(worldly)
no engagement breaking is not a divorce. may be breaking a promise!!!!!!
Re: IS ENGAGEMENT NIKAH ?
.
no,engagement is not a nikkah they both r a totally different things and when a boy and a girl is engage they are not allowed to talk to each other and if they do then its a sin!
The Link Provided in the Post of CRICKETPLAYER2 is suffient for reply i think,
As that is a scholorly reply to it.
Re: IS ENGAGEMENT NIKAH ?
I read your post in Life.
It is clear that this link from so called mufti or scholar is not authentic and ill-informed. This person has no idea what is engagement or nikah in general in Pakistan. This person assumed as if rikhsati is nikah and nikah in general similar to engagement which is also wrong.
**Engagement **is just verbal commitment between two families and no Ijaab-Qubool at all between the man and woman. Many times two are not even required to be present. They are still na-mehrum by strict sense.
Nikah is specific method in which at least verbal commitment in the form of being husband and wife between man and woman is made with witnesses. A dowry or mehr amount is set and and man agrees to pay in the event of divorce.
The rukhsati is just an additional useless customary act in which woman goes to man's house with teary eyes and families being emotional unnecessarily. Everyone eats an extra lavish food at the expense of woman family anyway!!!

What if in Engagment ,Both(Boy and Girl) are not Present and Ijaab-Qubool is made (Two Persons are Advocating i.e for the boy and the girle who are supposed to be engaged).
I think this time It is Nikah but known in Masses as Engagment as the Formality of Rukhsathy has not finished yet.

Acceptance by others to have some other day a formal nikah is what is engagement. This is what I mentioned. Engagement in true sense is deferring the nikah at a later date of convenience for each party.
True Ijaabo-Qubool should be from the man and woman. What if one or other denies later? Sometimes acceptance from woman is not in front of masses but still she must accept in front of witnesses for nikah.
Re: IS ENGAGEMENT NIKAH ?
Engagement is not nikah, but to the person who said "you are not allowed to talk to the person you are engaged to because it is a sin" is wrong. Talking is allowed, this is the person you are going to marry for goodness sake!
