Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

According to Shariah, a boy cannot talk to a strange girl before the nikah is performed. Since an engagement does not constitute a Nikah, it is not permissible for the boy and girl to have any contact.

And Allah knows best
