Marriage is a sacred commitment rooted in faith, responsibility, and mutual care. Through Marriage Services, Al Rashid Mosque offers Islamic marriage (nikah) services in accordance with Islamic principles and the legal framework of Alberta.
Marriage services are provided with care, clarity, and discretion. Couples are guided through a defined process to ensure that religious requirements, documentation, and expectations are clearly understood before a marriage is performed.
Marriage by Appointment Only
Islamic marriage contracts (nikah) at Al Rashid Mosque are performed by appointment only.
Couples must complete all required steps and submit documentation before an appointment with the Imam can be scheduled.
Before meeting with the Imam or requesting an Islamic marriage contract, couples must apply for and obtain a valid Alberta Marriage Licence from any Alberta Registry office.
Once the marriage licence is issued and submitted to the mosque front desk, an appointment for the Islamic marriage can be scheduled. Marriage appointments must take place within three months of the licence issue date.
All individuals must bring the following documents and information:
Incomplete documentation may delay or prevent the scheduling of a marriage appointment.
Couples may choose to include specific conditions in their Islamic marriage contract, provided these conditions are permissible within Islamic teachings. These conditions may relate to matters such as education, employment, residence, or other mutually agreed-upon considerations.
Conditions included in the Islamic marriage contract are religious in nature and form part of the nikah agreement. While these conditions are meaningful within an Islamic framework, they are not automatically legally binding under Canadian law.
Couples who wish for any marriage contract conditions to have legal standing are encouraged to seek independent legal advice to understand how such conditions may be documented or recognized within the civil legal system.
All conditions must be discussed, mutually agreed upon, and clearly documented before the marriage is performed.
Marriage services provided by Al Rashid Mosque are religious in nature. Couples are responsible for ensuring that all civil and legal requirements under Alberta law are fulfilled independently of the religious ceremony.
The mosque provides guidance on Islamic requirements but does not offer legal advice.

All requests are handled with discretion and confidentiality.
