💍 Marriage (Nikah) Invitation
Purpose and Intent
Purpose
This faith-based initiative facilitates a private, modest introduction for a lawful marriage (nikah) for the sake of Allah (God Almighty) ﷻ.
All steps conform to the Qur’an (Holy Book of Islam), the Sunnah (Prophetic tradition) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) ﷺ, and the principles of Shariʿah (Islamic Law).
Intent
This is not a social or public matchmaking service. It is a serious, one-to-one introduction conducted with Islamic modesty (haya’), confidentiality, and sincere intention (niyyah) toward nikah (Islamic marriage).
Guiding Boundaries
Uphold Islamic ethics at every stage; avoid khalwa (unlawful seclusion) and impropriety; preserve dignity, truthfulness, and respect; avoid harm, coercion, or undue pressure; involve the appropriate wali (guardian); and keep all communication Islamically appropriate and limited to matters relevant to nikah (marriage).
Objective
To help establish God-conscious households characterized by affection (mawaddah), mercy (rahmah), and trust — as Allah (God Almighty) ﷻ says:
“And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.” — Qur’an 30:21

• Intend nikah (Islamic marriage) sincerely for the sake of Allah (God Almighty) ﷻ.
• Are of lawful marital status and free from any existing marriage.

“Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allah], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling - [ones] previously married and virgins.” — Qur’an 66:5 (Surah At-Tahrim / The Prohibition)
Hijab (Islamic Veiling) and Modesty
Modesty (hayaʾ) in dress, speech, and conduct is a command of Allah (God Almighty) ﷻ and a means of preserving dignity.
Applicants are expected to uphold this principle consistently.
“And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.” — Qur’an 24:31
“O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness. But when you are invited, then enter; and when you have eaten, disperse without seeking to remain for conversation. Indeed, that [behavior] was troubling the Prophet, and he is shy of [dismissing] you. But Allah is not shy of the truth. And when you ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a partition. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts. And it is not [conceivable or lawful] for you to harm the Messenger of Allah or to marry his wives after him, ever. Indeed, that would be in the sight of Allah an enormity.” — Qur’an 33:53
“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” — Qur’an 33:59
Practical Observance Expected
• Clothing is loose, opaque, and non-form-fitting.
• The khimar (headcovering) covers the hair and chest, and the jilbab (outer garment) is worn in public.
• Conduct and speech remain dignified; no khalwa (unlawful seclusion) or inappropriate conversation.
• Communication is limited to what is necessary and conducted with Islamic adab (proper manners and etiquette).
• Commitment to growth in piety, humility, and sincerity is encouraged without ostentation or judgment of others.
These standards are Shariʿah (Islamic legal) obligations — not cultural conventions.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Core Principle
Your information is an amanah (sacred trust).
It is handled with Islamic ethics (akhlaq, moral character), modesty (hayaʾ), trustworthiness (amanah), and proper adab (etiquette and manners), using discreet and secure practices consistent with Shariʿah (Islamic Law).
Shariʿah Foundations
“Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing.” — Qur’an 4:58
“O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your own until you ascertain welcome and greet their inhabitants; that is best for you, perhaps you will be reminded.” — Qur’an 24:27
“O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.” — Qur’an 49:12

Shariʿah Requirements for a Valid Nikah (Marriage)
Purpose
To state, with legal precision and without surplusage, what constitutes a valid Shariʿah (Islamic Law) marriage (nikah) and to clarify that this initiative’s introductions are not themselves a nikah.
A marriage is valid only when the required elements below are fulfilled in accordance with the Qur’an (Holy Book of Islam), the Sunnah (Prophetic tradition), and classical fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) — acknowledging that minor interpretive nuances may exist.
The Prophet ﷺ guided believers to prioritize faith and character when choosing a spouse:
“A woman is married for four things: her wealth, her lineage, her beauty, and her religion. Choose the one who is religious; may your hands be covered in dust (i.e., may you prosper).” — (Bukhari, Muslim)
Core Requirements
1. Ijab wa Qabul (Offer and Acceptance)
A clear proposal and acceptance occur in one sitting, heard and understood by those present. This may be verbal (preferred) or written, provided that proper witnessing occurs at the time of acceptance.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“There is no marriage without ijab and qabul.” — (Musnad Ahmad)
2. Wali (Bride’s Guardian)
The participation and permission of the wali (guardian) for the bride is required according to the Prophetic guidance and authentic practice.
Family welfare should still be considered.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“There is no marriage except with a wali (guardian).” — (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)
"Any woman who marries without the permission of her wali (guardian), her marriage is invalid." — (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi)
“The ruler is the wali (guardian) of the one who has no wali.” — (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi)
3. Mahr (Dower) — the Bride’s Exclusive Right
A lawful gift due to the bride; its amount, form, and timing (whether prompt or deferred) should be specified and honored.
“And give the women [upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts graciously. But if they give up willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction and ease.” — Qur’an 4:4
4. Two Upright Muslim Witnesses
Two adult, sane, trustworthy Muslim witnesses must be present at the ijab/qabul (offer and acceptance).
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“There is no marriage without a guardian and two trustworthy witnesses.” — (Bayhaqi, Ibn Hibban)
5. Free, Informed Consent and Eligibility
Both spouses must give free, informed consent and be Islamically eligible (sound of mind and of lawful marital status).
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“A previously married woman has more right to her person than her guardian, and a virgin’s consent is sought; her silence is her consent.” — (Bukhari & Muslim)
6. No Prohibited Impediments
None of the Qur’anic prohibitions apply — such as degrees of kinship or fosterage, existing marriage conflicts, or the woman being in ʿiddah (waiting period after divorce or widowhood).
“Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.” — Qur’an 4:23
“And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].” — Qur’an 4:3
Sunnah Practices (Completion and Publicity)
Announcement and Walimah (Marriage Feast)
Public declaration of the marriage and holding a walimah (wedding meal) according to one’s means are Sunnah (Prophetic practice), promoting clarity and preventing secrecy.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Announce this marriage and perform it in the mosque; strike the drums for it.” — (Tirmidhi)
“Give a walimah, even if with one sheep.” — (Bukhari)
Documentation and Conditions
A written record is strongly recommended. It should record: the parties, wali (guardian), witnesses, mahr (dower), date, and place.
Lawful stipulations (shurut) may be included by either party if not contrary to Shariʿah (Islamic Law); once agreed, they are binding.
Public declaration and walimah (wedding feast) are encouraged alongside.
Notes on Practice and Jurisdiction
Differences may exist in interpretation and practice, especially regarding the wali (guardian) and witnessing. Follow the Prophetic guidance (Sunnah) and ensure that the nikah (marriage contract) is valid, sincere, and properly witnessed in accordance with Shariʿah (Islamic Law).
Niyyah (intention) must be sincere — marriage is a sacred covenant for the sake of Allah (God Almighty) ﷻ, not for deceit or exploitation.
Long-Distance Nikah (Marriage Contract)
• Place: Conclude the contract where the bride is.
• Presence: The bride’s wali (guardian) (or his wakil (authorized representative)) and two upright Muslim witnesses must be present.
• Parties: The groom attends in person or appoints a wakil (representative) to accept on his behalf.
• Ijab–Qabul (Offer and Acceptance): Must be clear, audible, immediate, and simultaneous—in one uninterrupted sitting.
• Mahr (Dower): A lawful dower must be specified (prompt or deferred); it is the exclusive right of the bride.
• Remote/Online: Permissible only via verified real-time video when identities are certain and the wali (guardian) and two witnesses are physically with the bride or verifiably present live in the same session; ijab–qabul (offer and acceptance) must occur in that single sitting.
• Record: Document names of parties, wali (guardian), witnesses, mahr (dower), date, and place.
Alignment with This Initiative
This initiative facilitates introductions only.
A nikah (marriage contract) is conducted separately, with all required parties present — bride, groom, wali (guardian), two witnesses — and with ijab (offer) and qabul (acceptance) occurring in one session, mahr (dower) specified, and consent clearly affirmed.
A nikah is conducted according to Shariʿah (Islamic) requirements, with proper witnessing and consent.
Spiritual Intent
Nikah (Islamic marriage) is a sacred covenant intended to establish sukun (tranquility), mawaddah (affection), and rahmah (mercy) between spouses for the sake of Allah (God Almighty) ﷻ.
All steps — legal, spiritual, and practical — must reflect sincerity, truthfulness, modesty, and the protection of dignity and rights.
