Frequently asked questions
Can an imam in Long Island legally marry us?
Only if they are authorized to perform marriages in New York. On ImamConnect, every profile clearly shows either "Registered officiant (legal + religious)" or "Religious ceremony only". Filter for registered officiants if you need the legal marriage as well.
Do we need a marriage license before the nikah?
If you want the marriage legally recognized in New York, yes. You get the marriage license from the county or city clerk before the ceremony and give it to the officiant. The imam cannot issue the license for you. For a religious-only nikah, no license is required.
What languages can the nikah be conducted in Long Island?
Imams serving Long Island conduct ceremonies in a range of languages, including English, Arabic, French, Urdu, Turkish, Punjabi, Bengali and Somali. Each profile lists the languages the imam can conduct the full ceremony in, not just speak casually.
