Is it permissable to have engagements if it is held within the context of the shariah?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org
Answer

If by engagement, confirmation to marry is meant, that is in order.

However, the general concept of engagement which resembles a mini-marriage has no basis in Islam. Such a custom is against the spirit of simplicity in Islam.
