Is it permissible to marry through the internet and matrimonial websites, [specifically] from Salafi sisters?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to utilize online marriage websites if they adhere to the Islamic legal guidelines. These are: not displaying women's pictures or describing them in precise detail, and not allowing direct messaging between genders. Instead, the website administration should connect the suitor with the guardian of the prospective bride. It is preferable to seek assistance from family, friends, and Islamic centers in the search for a righteous wife. For the validity of the marriage (nikah), the consent of the woman's guardian and two just witnesses are required.
