Islamic Marriage (Nikkah)

The holy prophet (saw.) said:

النِّكَاحُ مِنْ سُنَّتِي فَمَنْ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ بِسُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي

“The nikkah (Islamic wedding ceremony) is part of my sunnah and whoever does not observe my sunnah has nothing to do with me.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith No. 1846)

Marriage in Islam is a contract between a man and a woman. Consent from both sides is generally required. At the wedding, the bride receives a dowry (mahr) from her husband.
Marriage in the mosque according to Islamic law has not yet been recognized by the authorities in Germany. For this we refer to the registry office (Standesamt) in Munich.

Requirements

The nikkah can be held by one of our imams either in the mosque or at home (only in Munich).
The fee for the Nikkah is 100€. A civil wedding (Standesamt) is not required for the Nikkah.

We require:

Identity cards / passports
Amount and type of dowry (Mahr)
Presence of at least two witnesses (2 male or 1 male and 2 female witnesses)
Both spouses are required to be present (no Online-Nikkah)

Please contact our Imam Mufti Umar 01522-9454927 for the appointment. We also ask that you specify a desired date for the Nikkah.

The mosque Al-Ummah was opened in Munich more than 30 years ago and since then it has enabled Muslims of all nations to learn about the faith, learn to read and understand the Qur'an and to perform the five daily prayers. Also for non-Muslims our doors are always open. We are looking forward to every visit.
