Answer

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

Shari’ah does not recognise contemporary forms of engagements where
exorbitant amounts of monies is spent on the occasion. However, the
engagement is a confirmation to marry. At that stage, the boy and girl are
still strangers to one another in that they cannot communicate with one
another.

The premarital outings after the engagement is strictly prohibited in Shari’
ah. Often, such engagements break up leaving a devastating effect on the
parties and in particular, the ‘used’ fiancée.
