When will you do nikah

[Untaught88]

Hi,

Nikah is a Muslim marriage. Which verb should I use in the following sentence?

"When will you do nikah?"

 

[José Manuel Rosón Bravo]

[Not a teacher]

When will you marry?

 

[Untaught88]

Actually I want to use "nikah" in the sentence.

 

[José Manuel Rosón Bravo]

I see.

Then "when will you celebrate your nikah?"

 

[Tarheel]

Perhaps:

When will you have your nikah?

​

(Hey, Jose! :hi

 

[emsr2d2]

It depends on what an English-speaking Muslim would say, I think. I don't know if you celebrate, go through or have (or something else) [a] nikah. Hopefully, someone with the relevant knowledge will be able to tell us.

I told "celebrate" because Untaught88 defined the term as a Muslim marriage, after reading some information about the ceremony:

And having seen the expression "celebrate the nihak" in some articles:

Anyway, the expression "go through the nikah" is also in use, and "have the nikah" seems to be the most common.
