Security

You decide. We protect.

Five building blocks — from registration to the sittning (family meeting).

  • You control your photos

    Photos are optional and hidden by default. You choose who sees them, every photo is admin-reviewed and watermarked. You're judged on your deen, your values, your goals.

  • Chat with auto-filter

    Private numbers, emails and photos are blocked instantly, and off-platform recruitment is caught. You can report problems.

  • Data in the EU. GDPR.

    Servers in Stockholm. You delete your profile whenever — no questions, no forms.

  • Wali on your signal

    You decide WHEN wali's number is shared in chat. The brother calls wali himself. You never have to call dad.

  • Automated safety screen

    Every new profile is screened automatically for authenticity and safety. I don't read the chats — auto-filter and your reports protect them. No bot responses. No fakes.

For sisters

You have questions. Here are 8 answers.

Written by Fuaad after conversations with sisters who were skeptical at first.

  • Photos are optional and hidden by default. You decide if and when yours is shown: to no one, only at a match, or to everyone. The profile shows your deen, your values, your goals.

For brothers

Want to know how it works for brothers?

We know calling wali for the first time is daunting. Here's how we make it easier.

  • "Assalamu alaykum, my name is [name]. I'm interested in marrying [sister's name/profile ID] and want to ask your permission to continue the process the halal way. May I introduce myself?" — Clear, respectful, no shortcuts. Wali will ask about your deen, your livelihood, your family. Prepare honest answers.

How it works

Four steps from profile to nikah

A clear, halal path — no games, no stress, no ambiguity.

Involve wali when you're ready

You share your wali's number in chat. The brother calls wali himself. The families arrange the sittning — a structured family meeting where the couple meets with wali present.

Common questions.

On Muzz you pay just to maybe get a reply. On Zawji every new profile is safety-screened — and there's a real person behind the platform, not an algorithm. Auto-filter blocks private numbers and photos directly in chat, and you can report problems. I don't read the chats. No pay-per-message. No swiping. Wali is welcome. A curated platform with a real person behind it, not a faceless global app.

A sittning (Swedish word, used by Nordic Muslims) is a structured family meeting before nikah. The couple meets in the presence of the wali (the sister's male guardian — father, brother, or another close male relative) and usually other family members. The purpose: get to know each other honestly, ask questions about deen, values, future plans — without haram mixing, without dating dynamics. On Zawji, you reach sittning only when the sister shares her wali's number in the chat and the brother calls wali himself. Everything aligned with Islamic law: the woman consents, the man shows seriousness, the families are involved.

A wali is the sister's male guardian in the nikah process — usually her father. If the father is absent, non-Muslim, or unsuitable, the role passes (in order) to: grandfather, brother, paternal uncle, maternal uncle, or a trusted Muslim man. Converts without Muslim family can use a local imam as wali. The wali's role: protect the sister's interests, approve the nikah, attend the sittning. He NEVER calls you first — the brother calls wali directly when the sister shares the number in chat. At the nikah ceremony itself, wali formally says 'I give her in marriage to you' with the sister's consent.

If both parties and families feel it's right: the next step is nikah (the Islamic marriage contract). Between sittning and nikah you'll often have 1-3 more family meetings — to discuss mahr, housing, future plans, and let both families get to know each other. Timeline varies: some go from first sittning to nikah within 4-6 weeks; others take 3-6 months. All fine according to Islamic law. Zawji does NOT follow you after the sittning — it's the families' process. We're available for support via email if you have questions.

You create a profile (5 min) → it's safety-screened automatically and is usually visible right away → you browse and chat privately with matches (auto-filter blocks numbers and photos instantly; you can report problems). When the match gets serious, the sister shares wali's number in chat — the brother calls wali himself to arrange a sittning with both families. The full path from profile to sittning typically takes 3-6 weeks. You set the pace.

Was this helpful?

Yes, the chat is private between you. Auto-filter blocks private numbers, emails, and photos instantly, and you can report problems — but no admin reads your messages. Wali enters when the sister chooses — she shares his number in chat, and the brother calls wali directly. Wali is never on the app, but involved at sittning and nikah. This is how Zawji keeps the chat halal: protected by the filter, wali on the sister's signal, families involved at the right moment.

Was this helpful?

Yes. Zawji is built according to the Quran and Sunnah. No phone numbers or private photos can be shared outside of Zawji's chat flow. Automatic filtering blocks instantly, and you can report problems — but no admin reads your chats. Photos are optional, hidden by default and always moderated before they appear. You choose who sees yours. Wali is welcome in the marriage process.

Was this helpful?

Absolutely! Wali involvement is strongly encouraged. You don't need to provide a wali at registration, but when a match becomes serious, the sister shares wali's number in the chat. The brother calls wali himself — that's his proof of seriousness. Then the families arrange the sittning. Admin is not at the sittning but is available if you need support.

Was this helpful?

Yes. We follow GDPR (the EU data protection regulation). Your data is stored in Sweden with Supabase. Only admin can see your profile — it is not publicly searchable. We never share data with third parties and never sell your data. You can delete everything at any time.

Was this helpful?

You can delete your profile any time — no questions, no conditions. Or pause it. You have full control. And if you're a brother on Premium, you can cancel anytime — sisters never need it.

Was this helpful?

Joining, creating a profile, browsing, sending interest and seeing who's interested are free for everyone. Sisters never pay. For brothers, Premium unlocks private chat: 599 kr for 3 months or 999 kr per year (incl. VAT). No pay-per-message like Muzz — a straightforward subscription you can cancel anytime.
