Frequently asked questions

Can an imam in Ajax & Pickering legally marry us?
Only if they are authorized to perform marriages in Ontario. 5 of the 7 imams listed for Ajax & Pickering are registered officiants, so they can do the nikah and the legal marriage in one ceremony. On ImamConnect, every profile clearly shows either "Registered officiant (legal + religious)" or "Religious ceremony only". Filter for registered officiants if you need the legal marriage as well.
Do we need an Ontario marriage licence before the nikah?
If you want the marriage legally registered, yes. You get the marriage licence from the province before the ceremony and bring it on the day. The imam cannot issue the licence for you. For a religious-only nikah, no licence is required.
What languages can the nikah be conducted in Ajax & Pickering?
The imams listed for Ajax & Pickering conduct ceremonies in English, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish and Gujarati. Each profile lists the languages the imam can conduct the full ceremony in, not just speak casually.
Can a Muslim woman have a nikah with a non-Muslim partner?
The imams on ImamConnect follow the mainstream position that a Muslim woman's nikah requires a Muslim husband, so we cannot arrange it. A Muslim man may marry a Christian or Jewish woman, and some imams are open to that (use the interfaith filter). If your situation is different, message us: we can refer you to legally authorized officiants for a civil marriage and can connect you privately with an imam if you would like to talk.
How quickly will we hear back after requesting a date?
We usually reply within 15 minutes, inshaAllah, and only share your details once an imam confirms.
