The Muslim marriage app with a wali and chaperone built in.
Getting to know someone for marriage works best with family involved. Zawaj includes a Chaperone/Wali feature, private photos and moderated conversations — so you can search the halal way, with the people who care about you close by.
Family involvement, built into the process — not an afterthought.
In many Muslim families, a marriage search has always involved a wali, parents or a trusted elder. Most apps leave that out entirely, so conversations happen in private and families meet a stranger at the very end. Zawaj does it differently: the Chaperone/Wali feature lets a trusted guardian be part of the process, if you want that, from whenever you choose.
For many sisters this is the difference between feeling uneasy on an app and feeling protected. It also keeps conversations purposeful — people tend to be at their most sincere when a wali is in the picture. Read more in our guide to involving your wali.
Privacy and safety, by design.
Chaperone / Wali feature
Bring a trusted guardian into the process whenever you want — from the first conversation or later on.
Blur your photos
Keep your photos blurred and visible only to the people you choose. Every photo is moderated before anyone can see it.
Proposals, then calls
Interest starts with a written proposal, not a swipe. Only once it is accepted does a conversation begin — by message, voice or video call.
Moderated, verified and easy to report.
Conversations are automatically filtered for inappropriate language, and profile verification, reporting and blocking are built in from day one. If anything feels wrong, you are one tap from reporting it. See our safety and privacy page and our list of red flags on Muslim marriage apps.
Wali, chaperone and privacy: common questions.
Is there a Muslim marriage app with a wali or chaperone feature?
Yes. Zawaj has a built-in Chaperone/Wali feature, so a trusted guardian can be part of the process if you want — reflecting how marriage is traditionally approached in many Muslim communities.
Do I have to use the Chaperone/Wali feature?
No. It is there for people who want it. Some sisters involve a wali from the first conversation; others bring family in later. Either way is your choice.
Can I use Zawaj without showing my photos?
You can blur your own photos so they are visible only to the people you choose. Every photo is also moderated before anyone else can see it.
Can we video call before meeting?
Yes. Once a proposal is accepted, you can talk by message, voice or video call inside the app — a good way to get to know each other with family nearby before meeting in person.
What if I am a revert without a Muslim wali?
Read our guide on who can be your wali — options include an imam or Islamic centre. Be wary of anyone who discourages you from involving a wali.
Search the halal way, with your family close by.
