SingleMuslim review 2026: what it costs, how safe it is — and what families should know

SingleMuslim is a UK-run matrimonial site and app that is free to join, with paid Gold membership to send, read and reply to messages (£29.99 a month on the UK App Store, renewing automatically). It describes no wali or chaperone feature: messages go to the profile's own inbox.

Its UK and US App Store listings were read live. Its website blocks automated requests, so its help pages and terms were read from Internet Archive copies of its own pages; each link below opens the copy, and the text gives its date. We are a competitor with a different model, so every claim here is attributed.

What works	What to weigh
Free to register and to search	Messaging needs Gold, which renews automatically
Staff approve every new or changed profile	No routine ID or selfie check
A private photo gallery you share on request	Its logged-out home page showed member tiles with photo, age, job and location
Report and block buttons	No wali or chaperone feature on its pages

Sources: its UK App Store listing (live), its home page (copy of 17 September 2026), and its help pages and terms (copies of January–April 2026).

Verdict in one line: a classic matrimonial site, familiar to many UK families — paid messaging between members, with no family layer built in.

How SingleMuslim works

SingleMuslim’s App Store listing names its provider as Single Muslim Limited, calls it “the world’s leading Muslim introduction agency” (its claim) and says it is “run by Muslims, for single Muslims” (UK App Store). Its own pages give addresses in Wakefield, UK, and no company number (privacy policy, April 2026 copy).

Free to join. “Create a free Muslim dating profile”, says the App Store; “Register for FREE!”, says its home page (September 2026 copy).
Gold. The paid subscription’s listed benefits are to “Send, read and reply to messages”, “Store messages for more than 30 days”, “See who’s been viewing your profile” and “Priority gold member support” (UK App Store). A page captured on 24 September 2026 says “Gold Membership entitles users full access to all the services offered by the website” (copy).
Who pays. Its help pages (January 2026 copies) say “We do ask our male site members to pay for Gold Membership” (copy) and offer women a complimentary membership that lets them “Send, read and reply to limited messages” (copy). Another help page says instead that “All females on our website have complimentary Gold Memberships” (copy).
How contact starts. Once a profile is approved, “Other site members will then be able to see your profile and send you messages” (copy, January 2026). Its home page also offers “Like & Chat” (September 2026 copy).
The app. 3.4 stars from 2,608 ratings on the UK App Store and 3.5 from 516 in the US, rated 18+, last updated on 25 September 2025 (UK, US).

Family and the wali

No wali feature. Neither its App Store listing nor its home page mentions a wali, guardian or chaperone, and none of the help pages, terms or policies we read describes one.
Profiles for a relative. Its help pages say you may create a profile for someone else “as long as you have their permission”, and who it was made for is shown on the profile (copy, February 2026). Its terms say the opposite: “Your membership is for your sole, personal use only” (copy, April 2026).
Where enquiries go. To the profile’s own inbox, whoever runs it; no copy to a parent or wali is described.

The difference is who is contacted first. On SingleMuslim a man with Gold writes to the profile. On a wali-first site the family is the first contact. IslamicKnot is one, and it is ours: There's no private messaging between a man and a woman. On a profile listed with her wali, the only contact a seeker can unlock is the wali's phone number, and the families continue off the platform. A revert sister with no Muslim wali is introduced in a conversation inside IslamicKnot with a member of its team present in every message, and contact details are filtered out. Her own number is never shared, and either of them can ask the team to close the conversation. IslamicKnot is a chaperone, not her wali.

Feature	SingleMuslim	IslamicKnot (ours)
Who he contacts first	The profile directly: Gold members can message the women¹	Her wali: the only contact a seeker can unlock is his phone number²
Private messaging	Yes, instant messaging between members³	None. A revert sister without a wali is introduced in a conversation with our team present²
Wali or chaperone	None described on its pages⁴	Every enquiry goes to her wali (father or brother); supervised introductions for revert sisters⁵
Family can run her profile	Its help pages say yes, with her permission; its terms say personal use only⁶	Yes: her father or brother creates and runs it, or she runs it with her wali's number on file⁵
Where enquiries go	The profile's own inbox, whoever runs it⁷	To her wali's phone number⁵

Photos and privacy

Private gallery. “Photos in your Private Gallery are not available for general public view”; members must send a request, which you accept or decline (copy, January 2026).
Approved photos. Every upload waits until the site admin approves it, and the main photo must be a “closely cropped face image, similar to your passport photo” (copy, January 2026). No photo rule we read mentions niqab or hijab.
What is public. Its logged-out home page showed a grid of member tiles, each with a photo, username, age, job and location (copy, 17 September 2026).
In its terms. “You acknowledge that all Community Facilities are public and not private communications”, and posting gives SingleMuslim and other members a broad licence over your photos and content (copy, April 2026).
App data. Its App Store privacy label declares identifiers linked to you, used among other things for third-party advertising (UK App Store).

Verification and safety

Profile approval. “All new profiles and existing profiles that are changed in any way, are submitted for approval to our administration team”, usually within a few hours (copy, January 2026). A page captured in September 2026 says “The website team manually vet each profile data and photographs for authenticity” (copy).
Identity. Its terms say it has neither “the obligation nor responsibility or the technical means to verify the identity of persons who register” (copy, April 2026); its privacy policy says it may ask for ID after misuse or unusual activity, or to confirm age (copy, April 2026). No selfie check or “verified” badge is described.
Reports. Every profile has a “Report User” button, and you can block a member or report spam (copy, January 2026); it says it relies on members reporting suspicious accounts, and “Messages sent on the site can be monitored” (copy, January 2026).
Responsibility. Its terms say “You must satisfy yourself as to the bona fides of those to whom you are introduced” (April 2026 copy).

Pricing

UK App Store: “1 month subscription: £29.99”, “6 month subscription: £59.99”, “12 month subscription: £119.99”, renewing automatically: “Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current one/six/twelve month periods” (UK App Store). The listing also sells a £9.99 “Gold Membership” without naming its length; its help page says the £9.99 monthly rate applies only after “an initial payment of £119.99” for the first year (copy, January 2026).
US App Store: “Gold Membership” items at $14.99, $48.99, $98.99 and $179.99, lengths not named (US App Store).
Cancelling. On the App Store, turning off auto-renewal ends the plan at the end of the billing cycle. Its help page says “we require 28 days cancellation notification to cancel all our auto renewal policies” (copy, December 2025), and a paying Gold member can’t delete the profile until Gold expires (copy, October 2025).
Refunds. “No refunds will be given either in whole or part unless their is an agreed error by both parties” (sic; terms, April 2026 copy).

How that compares. SingleMuslim charges for time, in plans that renew. IslamicKnot charges per contact, once: US$5 for one family or US$12 for 3, and nothing renews (our prices).

Who it suits

In its own words: “single Muslims”, with “British, American, Canadian, Australian and Arab Dating” (UK App Store); its terms admit “single, widowed, divorced or legally separated adults of the Muslim religion, over 18 years of age” (April 2026 copy). Its figures disagree with each other — members from one million to five million, and marriages from about 150 a month to 250,000 in total — and no page says how they are counted (news page, February 2026 copy, UK App Store).

Our read: it fits UK searchers who want the familiar matrimonial-site format, with long profiles and private messages, and who will bring their family in themselves. It fits less well if you want the family to be the first contact.

Bottom line

SingleMuslim is a straightforward matrimonial site: free to browse and join, paid to message, with staff approving profiles and a private photo gallery. Family involvement is up to you, and its plans renew until you cancel, with notice.
