# Ahle Hadees Matrimony and Rishta App > SalafiMatch is a matrimonial app for Ahle Hadees (Ahl-e-Hadith) and Salafi Muslims: manually reviewed profiles, no photos for sisters, a free WhatsApp notification to the wali and five free conversation starts. Canonical: https://www.salafimatch.app/ahle-hadees-matrimony Last updated: 2026-11-06 A rishta search for Ahl-e-Hadith families, on Android and iOS. Every profile is read by a person before it goes live, sisters do not upload photographs, and a sister's wali receives a WhatsApp notification when she sends her first message. ## Who it is for Ahl-e-Hadith, also written Ahle Hadees, Ahlehadith or Ahlul Hadees, is the name by which many Muslims who follow the Salafi methodology are known in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. SalafiMatch is built only for this community. Membership is for single, divorced or widowed Muslims aged 18 and over who adhere to the Salafi / Ahlehadith methodology. Adherence is a condition of joining. You register in the app itself. It is a matrimonial app for people seeking nikah. ## How a rishta moves forward 1. Create a profile with your circumstances, marriage intentions and preferences. 2. A person reviews it before other members can see it. Review does not establish anyone's sincerity or guarantee their identity, conduct or suitability. 3. Browse approved profiles and send an enquiry. An enquiry without a message is free; adding a short message uses one of your conversation starts. 4. Once an enquiry is accepted, the conversation continues. A sister's first message triggers a free WhatsApp notification to her wali with the brother's details, including his contact number. 5. Involve your families, pray Istikhara, and record your reflections in the app's Istikhara tracker before deciding. ## What a profile asks about deen Besides age and city, members can state the scholars they take knowledge from, how they practise, whether they pray five times, whether a sister wears niqab, and their family background. A family can judge manhaj from the profile before any conversation starts. ## Rishta groups, marriage bureaus and an app Many Ahl-e-Hadith families look for a rishta through WhatsApp groups, a marriage bureau, "marriage media" pages or word of mouth. Any of them can work, and the same five questions apply to each. | Question | Why it matters | On SalafiMatch | | --- | --- | --- | | Who can see a sister's photograph? | In an open group, a shared biodata and photograph can be forwarded to anyone. | Sisters cannot upload a profile photo; they choose an illustration. | | Is the wali involved? | Families expect to know when a rishta conversation begins. | A sister's first message in a conversation sends her wali a WhatsApp notification with the brother's details. | | Is anyone checking profiles? | Careless or false biodata wastes families' time. | Every profile is read by a person before it is published. Review is not a guarantee of identity or conduct. | | Is manhaj stated or assumed? | "Muslim" alone does not tell a family enough. | Joining requires adherence to the Salafi / Ahlehadith methodology, and profiles state scholars, practice and prayer. | | What does it cost? | Fees are easier to judge before you start. | Creating a profile, browsing and replying are free; five conversation starts are included for the lifetime of a free account. | ## Do you need Premium to get started? No. SalafiMatch is for Salafi and Ahlehadith Muslims seeking marriage. You can create a profile, browse approved members and begin contacting matches with a free account. Consider Premium if you need more conversation starts or its additional features. | Feature | Free account | Premium | | --- | --- | --- | | Profile and browsing | Create a profile and browse approved members. | Included. | | Starting conversations | Five starts in total for the lifetime of your account. | The starting limit is lifted while membership is active. | | Replying to incoming conversations | Unlimited replies without using your five starts. | Included. | | Wali WhatsApp notification | The sister's first message triggers a notification with the brother's contact details. | The same notification is available free; membership is not required. | | Revealing contact details in the app | Separate from the free wali notification. | Uses contact credits. A sister's contact reveal shows her wali's details, not her private phone or email. | The wali notification needs valid contact details and successful WhatsApp delivery. It does not provide a chat transcript.
