Shaykh Hamdy Abdelghaffar is a bilingual Arabic and English-speaking Islamic scholar, imam, khateeb, Quran teacher and nikah officiant based in the Greater Toronto Area. He has served as an imam, khateeb and Quran teacher for 45 years, and has conducted nikah ceremonies in Canada for over 15 years, serving families from many backgrounds. He is a registered marriage officiant in Ontario, so he can perform both the religious nikah and the legal marriage. He is a hafiz of the Quran, holds a bachelor's degree from Cairo University and an ijazah from Al-Azhar, and studied Islamic sciences directly with senior scholars in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. He respects the recognized Sunni schools and follows the opinion supported by the stronger evidence, with attention to each family's circumstances. He also conducts nikahs for Muslim men marrying a Christian or Jewish woman (People of the Book), when the marriage meets the requirements of Islamic law. He serves Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville and other nearby areas by arrangement.
