Frequently Asked Questions

Naseeb is here to guide you through the complex process of marriage from helping you build a marriage profile, finding you potential matches, educating on the fundamentals of determining compatibility, and advising on the benefits of having a mahram through the whole process. Marriage is one of the most important decisions of your lives and Naseeb aims to make the process as seamless as possible, and completed in the way most pleasing to Allah (s.w.t).

Once your profile has been completed, it will be submitted into the system to identify matches that best align with your preferences. Suitable matches will be sent via email, and if there is interest in proceeding, contact details will be provided. At this stage, Naseeb will no longer be directly involved; however, guidance and a list of suggested questions can be provided to support the process of getting to know your match.

Services are currently available to applicants based in Northern Ireland, Ireland and Mainland UK.

We have mahrams through blood relations. Your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, nephews, nieces, children, grandchildren, and so forth are all considered your blood mahrams, regardless of whether they're from your mother's side or father's side. Your cousins of the opposite gender are not your mahrams.

For a marriage to be valid, it's required that a woman has a wali, who acts as her guardian. The Prophet ﷺ stated that no marriage is valid without a guardian. Typically, a woman's guardian is her father, but it's crucial that her father shares the same religion. If her father isn't Muslim, other paternal relatives like siblings, uncles, or grandfather may act as her guardian. In the absence of Islamic authority, the Imam of an authorized Islamic center could assume this role. If there's no Islamic center available, any reputable Muslim man accepted as a guardian by the community can be appointed.

The registration process includes a £10 non-refundable fee, payable as a one-time charge with no recurring monthly fees. This registration fee covers the administrative costs associated with inputting and processing your details.

The use of references is important. It ensures the compatibility, character and religious commitment of a potential spouse. This practice aligns with the Sunnah. Such an approach aids careful selection, rather than relying solely on initial attraction of both applicants.

This is the criteria adviced by the companion Umar ibn al-Khattab, who instructed that a person is not truly known until one has dealt with them in business, lived with them or in close proximity to them, or travelled with them to know their character.

Naseeb completely understand and respect your decision. All forms will include a picture section that will be seen only by the team. Female applicants can be reassured that their profiles will be viewed exclusively by female staff members at Naseeb.

Understanding that physical attraction is important to marriage decisions, we respect the importance of photos. However, we prioritize consent in our photo-sharing process. Photos will only be shared with potential matches if you give consent for us to do so.

We won't disclose your names to potential matches or anyone else. Instead, we'll assign you a code like "Naima" becoming A1002 or "Ahmed" becoming A1003.

You will have to ask questions as well as having chaperoned meet ups with the person. Your Mahram will help you by giving you advice about how to proceed and helping you decide which questions to ask. We will also host events that will go into detail about the important questions to ask. If you have any other queries we will direct you to specialists who will be able to advice you and Inshallah guide both parties to establish compatibility all the way until nikkah.

Be honest and take the whole process seriously. Work with your Mahram and ask questions. Put in the time and effort, and keep an open mind. Get to know people on a deeper level so you can discover what qualities are valuable to you in a spouse. Beauty will fade, but personality and character are what will help your marriage last in the long run. Finally, get a friend, specialist, or family member who has been married before to sit with you and talk about your possible matches. Feel free to reach out to us if there's anything you don’t know about the process of marriage or roles in marriage.

Each participant has their own responsibilities. Many have families, jobs, and businesses that they have to attend to, so ask your Match for their available times. Please be respectful of their personal time, try and contact them during their regularly scheduled hours, preferably during the day.

We would advise that you consider what’s most important to you at this stage. Yes, school and career are important, but marriage is a very important decision that will only affect your quality of life positively. It’s worth investing the time and effort to find a good match, inshAllah. If it is absolutely not feasible right now we would not recommend signing up as you could potentially be wasting your matches’ time.

Answer as many of the questions as you can, then ask a friend or family member who knows you well to help you fill out the rest. If you still require more assistance contact us on email: naseebmatch1@gmail.com or Instagram: Naseeb.match.

It may seem like a long form, but we have tried to put only the important questions that would help participants in finding a compatible match. The form saves participants a lot of time, since we anticipate that most people will have more than one match, it reduces the time spent in getting to know multiple people simultaneously.

In addition, it will help participants to get to know how the opposite gender thinks and what they are looking for.

Ethnicity or language preferences can be specified within the ‘Preference for a Match’ section of the online registration form. Every effort will be made to identify matches that align closely with these preferences.

Registration on behalf of another individual is not permitted. While the support in facilitating marriage is appreciated, it is preferred that individuals seeking a match complete the sign-up process themselves. This ensures active involvement, clear consent, and a genuine commitment to the process. Greater engagement is likely to lead to more favourable outcomes, InshAllah.
