The answer

The engagement is a promise of marriage, not a contract, so no special rights result from it. It is not permissible for a man to joke with a woman who is a stranger to him or to look at her. An engaged woman is a stranger to her fiancé until the marriage contract is concluded. Everyone must adhere to the boundaries set by Allah.
