Frequently asked questions
Can an imam in New York City 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.
