Answer
(Fatwa: 829/829=M/1430)
Engagement is in fact promise of nikah; this could be in written or oral. Nowadays, it can take place very easily by phone. As far as other formalities are concerned which are prevalent today, they are nonsense and nothing, and if it contains customs against Shariah, it is prohibited.
