Home > IAA Nikah Procedure

In order for us to make your Nikah request possible, you must fill out the Nikah form.

1. Submit Your Nikah Application

Complete the online application:
🔗 Nikah Ceremony Request – The Islamic Association of Allen (IAA)

2. Obtain Your Legal Marriage License

A legal marriage license must be obtained before the Nikah ceremony. The process varies by county.

If applying in Collin County, visit: 🔗 Collin County Marriage License Information

The marriage license must be submitted at least two weeks before the Nikah ceremony.

3. Submit Required Documentation

📌 The following documents must be submitted/uploaded while filling up the form. If some documents not available, for example Marriage License please email: iaanikahservices@allenmasjid.com

Marriage Application (completed online)
Mutual agreement (Ijab-O-Qubul) by the bride and the groom
Presence of two male Muslim witnesses for the groom and a guardian (wali) for the bride
Official Marriage License (Collin County requires 72 hours wait period when requesting)
Mahr (marriage-gift) to be paid by the groom to the bride either immediately (muajjal) or deferred (muakhkhar), or a combination of both
If previously married, date and certificate of divorce(s)

📌 Additional Requirements:

The bride and groom must both be Muslim.

No Nikah ceremony will be conducted without the official marriage license and all required documents.

4. Submit the Nikah Ceremony Fee

The standard fee amount is $300.00 attendees (max 75). If you have more than 75 attendees please click here to book IAAC.

Once the fee is paid, your requested date will be reserved. All required items must be submitted/confirmed no later than two weeks prior to the event. If items are not received by the deadline, IAA reserves the right to give your reserved date to another requestor.

Payment must be made online at: 🔗 https://us.mohid.co/tx/dallas/iaa/masjid/online/donation/161

Please do understand that the nikah service fee does not include an honorarium to the scholar performing the nikah and will need to be provided separately. (Before or after the event and not in front of guests. In the event handing envelop front of guest does not look good.)

5. Email the Payment Receipt

Upon completing your payment, you will receive an email confirmation from Mohid.

Forward the receipt to iaanikahservices@allenmasjid.com
