amarjibonQuestions to Ask Before Nikah (Islamic Checklist)
Before you say yes, ask these. A calm, honest checklist for before nikah.
Marriage is a lifelong decision, so it is wise to ask clear questions early — respectfully, often with family present. Here is a helpful checklist.
Deen and values
How do they practise their deen? What are their expectations around prayer, hijab, and raising children Islamically?
Family and living
Where will you live? What is their relationship with their family, and expectations of yours? How do they view a working spouse?
Finances and future
How do they handle money and responsibility? What are their plans for education, work and children? What mahr is fair for both sides?
Character
Ask about temperament, past commitments, and how they handle conflict. Honesty here saves heartache later.
On amarjibon, verified profiles and privacy controls let you have these conversations seriously and safely, with real people.
