Title

The marital status of a revert couple

Question

A.w.w

If a husband and wife both are non-muslim but both revert to islam..do they have to renew their marriage contract and do nikaah again?.

W.salam

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If a husband and wife accept Islam together, their Nikah will be valid and they do not need to repeat the Nikah.
