Islamic Marriage Foundations
What to Confirm Before the Nikah

Free and Willing Consent
The bride and groom must both willingly agree to the marriage. Consent is the beginning of a valid and meaningful Nikah.
The Bride’s Wali
The bride is supported by her wali, who may attend in person or online. Any alternate arrangement should be discussed with the Imam in advance.
An Agreed Mahr
The couple agrees on a reasonable gift from the groom to the bride, including what it is and when it will be given.
Confirmed Witnesses
Confirm the required Muslim witnesses and how they will attend before the ceremony day.
