Purpose and Use of These Guides

Nikahcontract.com offers a series of legal reference guides on Muslim marriage law (Fiqh).

These guides were written to help you create and customize your marriage contract. They also help you better understand the religious and legal information that goes into the creation of the contract and its role in your lives.

They were drafted with great care, using language that is both accessible and precise, to enable you to make informed choices about how you wish to organize your life as a couple and a family.

They were also drafted with practicality and clarity in mind, without overwhelming you with references, in order to answer the most practical questions you may have, while not neglecting to go into detail sometimes when necessary.

Even though these legal guides do not claim to be exhaustive, they are nonetheless detailed enough to answer most questions one may have about Muslim marriage contracts.

Nikahcontract.com places special emphasis on the quality of service it offers its users. High-level Muslim legal experts, each a Fiqh specialist in their respective schools, drafted these guides, thus ensuring that they are thorough and correct.

The site’s Sharia committee has also certified that the content of these guides perfectly complies with classic Muslim law (Fiqh).

References to the Quran and the Sunnah are systematically provided when they are relevant. The different positions of the Sunni legal schools (madhab) are specified whenever necessary, when they are significant and may have an effect on how the marriage contract is drafted.

They are always based on the ijma, in other words, the consensus of the ulemas on a given question.

Lastly, these guides also provide an opportunity and encouragement for Muslims to study the Muslim religion in order to grow in their knowledge and to continue their research on the sacred path of Islam.
