Nikah Ceremonies
The Nikah ceremony takes place in the community centre, not in the main mosque prayer hall. The main mosque hall is not available for Nikah hire unless strict guidelines are followed (no females permitted in the main hall, and the area must be set up and cleared well outside of prayer times).
You can set up the community centre hall as you wish for your Nikah — including mixed seating after the ceremony if desired.
To book a Nikah, please complete the Nikah Booking Form & Guidance Notes and email it to the Imam at imam.gm@ashtoncentralmosque.com or imam.mh@ashtoncentralmosque.com.
