Marriage/Nikah Services

 

Masjid Umar conducts Nikah services, this page gives information on how to book Nikah at Masjid Umar. For your convenience the Nikah application form can be downloaded from the links below.

Important Points

 

  • The bride or groom must reside in Leicester/Leicestershire before we will undertake Nikah cenermony

  • If you reside outside the Leicester/Leicestershire area please contact your local Masjid to arrange Nikah. Masjid Umar primarily provides Nikah services for the local Muslim community within Leicester and Leicestershire
  • The Nikah Organisers reserve the right to refuse Nikah without reason on behalf of Masjid Umar. This is unlikely to occur if you follow the correct procedures for completing the application form accurately and providing any further information as and when requested.
  • The Nikah ceremony is a very important step in one’s life and as such the Masjid places a great deal of importance on ensuring that this pious act is with the approval of parents and/or next of kin.
