The best Muslim dating apps
Starting priceFree
Free planYes
Muzz is the largest Muslim marriage app, founded in 2015 in London as Muzmatch and rebranded in 2022. It reports 19 million members across 190 plus countries and 30 plus languages, with 500 new couples marrying daily and 800,000 plus marriages since launch. Core use is free: see profiles, match, chat, and marry without paying, while optional Muzz Gold adds visibility features and Halal Dating Coach access.
Its signature feature is the wali chaperone option. Either party can invite a family member to join a conversation, the chaperone sees every message from both sides, both parties see the chaperone is present, and the invitation is revocable at any time. Photo blur, selfie and ID verification, in-app calls without phone-number sharing, and deen filters for sect, prayer level, halal preference, ethnicity, and marriage timeline round out the faith-specific design. For a marriage-serious Muslim who wants the largest pool and family involvement options, Muzz leads.
What we like- Largest pool at 19 million members in 190 plus countries
- Wali chaperone option
- Deen filters for sect, prayer level, and halal preference
Watch out for- Large pool means more filtering work
- Discovery features need Muzz Gold
- Less suited to casual dating

Salams suits Muslims who want a modern, social-community experience alongside marriage discovery. It offers a wali option similar to Muzz, selfie and manual profile checks, and a Connect mode for friendship and networking, so community building sits next to matchmaking rather than apart from it. A free tier covers core use.
The trade is pool size and focus. At 6 million plus members, Salams is smaller than Muzz, and social features can distract users who want marriage search only. For a Muslim who wants community and marriage discovery in one app, Salams leads.
What we like- Modern social-community experience
- Wali option
- Connect mode for friendship and networking
Watch out for- Smaller pool than Muzz at 6 million plus
- Premium features need payment
- Social features may distract from marriage search
Starting priceFree
Free planYes
Barkat suits educated Muslims and families seeking serious marriage with a family-first approach. Its core bet is focused matching: alma mater filtering, institution and context-first profile quality, and a family-structured design that treats education compatibility, family values, and life trajectory as central, not only religion and location. A free tier covers core use.
The limits are scale and scope. Barkat is growing globally but smaller than Muzz or Salams, and it is marriage-first with no friendship mode. For a user overwhelmed by high-volume, low-signal platforms who wants curated matching, Barkat leads.
What we like- Curated matching for educated Muslims
- Alma mater filtering
- Family-first design
Watch out for- Growing pool, smaller than Muzz or Salams
- Marriage-first, no friendship mode
- Newer platform with less history

Free planYes
SingleMuslim suits users who prefer web-first matrimonial search over app-first swiping. As a long-running platform, it offers detailed profiles, global Muslim membership, and search filters suited to serious marriage intent. A free tier covers browsing and basic use, with paid plans for full communication.
The trade is polish. The interface feels older than Muzz or Salams, and the app experience trails the app-first leaders. For a user who wants a traditional matrimonial website, SingleMuslim fits.
What we like- Long-running matrimonial platform
- Web-first search with detailed profiles
- Global Muslim membership
Watch out for- Interface feels older than app-first rivals
- Premium features need payment
- App experience trails Muzz

Half Our Deen suits practicing Muslims who want faith-first matching. Profiles emphasize religious practice and marriage seriousness, which reduces filtering work for users whose faith practice is the primary criterion. A free tier covers basic use, with paid plans for full features.
The limits are scale and polish. The pool is smaller than mainstream apps, and the experience is web-first rather than app-first. For a practicing Muslim who wants faith practice at the center of matching, Half Our Deen leads.
What we like- Faith-first design for practicing Muslims
- Detailed religious practice profiles
- Marriage-serious membership
Watch out for- Smaller pool than mainstream apps
- Premium features need payment
- Web-first experience

eHarmony suits Muslims who want compatibility-based matching in a large general pool. Its deep questionnaire matches on values, personality, and life goals, and its membership skews marriage-focused. A free basic tier covers browsing, with paid plans for full communication, so the starting price here is written as See website.
The trade is faith specificity. eHarmony offers no Muslim-specific features such as wali options or deen filters, so Muslims filter a general audience by faith and values themselves. For a user who prioritizes compatibility science over faith-specific tools, eHarmony fits.
What we like- Deep compatibility questionnaire
- Marriage-focused membership
- Large general pool
Watch out for- No Muslim-specific features such as wali options
- Paid plans needed for full communication
- Questionnaire takes time

Hinge suits Muslims who want a relationship-focused general app. Its tagline is designed to be deleted, profiles use prompts and photos that show personality, and the membership skews toward serious relationships. A free tier covers core use, with paid plans for advanced features, so the starting price here is written as See website.
The limits are faith tools. Hinge offers no wali options or deen filters, so Muslims state faith in profile fields and filter manually. For a user who wants a large relationship-focused pool and is comfortable filtering, Hinge fits.
What we like- Designed for relationships, not casual dating
- Detailed profiles with prompts
- Large general pool
Watch out for- No Muslim-specific features
- Premium features need payment
- Faith filtering depends on profile fields
Starting priceSee website

Bumble suits Muslims who want a women-first general app. Women initiate contact in heterosexual matches, which reduces unwanted messages, and verification features add safety. A free tier covers core use, with paid plans for advanced features, so the starting price here is written as See website.
The trade is faith specificity and pace. Bumble offers no wali options or deen filters, and the 24-hour reply window pressures users who prefer slower, family-involved pacing. For a woman who wants control over first contact in a large pool, Bumble fits.
What we like- Women-first messaging reduces unwanted contact
- Large general pool
- Verification features
Watch out for- No Muslim-specific features
- Premium features need payment
- 24-hour reply window pressures some users
How we chose
We ranked apps by Muslim-specific features, pool size, verification, family involvement options, and value at entry level pricing. We favored Muslim-first apps for users who want faith-specific tools, since wali options, deen filters, and halal framing are absent from general apps. We gave general apps credit for pool size and compatibility depth, since some Muslims prefer a larger audience and manual faith filtering.
We also weighed safety honestly. Every app here carries dating risks, so meet in public, never share financial details, never send money to someone you have not met, and keep early conversations inside the app where reporting and blocking work. Where pricing was not confirmed from a current listing, we wrote See website, so readers check the store listing before paying.
Buying guide
Start by naming how central faith-specific features are to your search. If wali options, deen filters, and halal framing matter, choose Muzz, Salams, or Barkat. If a larger pool matters more, choose eHarmony, Hinge, or Bumble and filter by faith yourself. If web-first matrimonial search suits you, choose SingleMuslim or Half Our Deen.
Next, test the pool in your area before paying. Download two finalists, set your filters, and count real, active profiles nearby over a week. A large global pool means little if your city has few active users, and a curated pool means little if it has none near you.
Finally, involve family early if that fits your practice. If you want a wali in conversations, choose an app that offers it natively and agree with your family on how involved they will be. If you prefer private searching, choose an app with strong photo blur, verification, and blocking controls, and keep family conversations separate from app conversations.
