Arabic Form Validation

Validate Arabic and multilingual personal names, normalize Arabic-Indic and Persian phone digits, and check Arabic text without rejecting legitimate Unicode input. Compare inclusive and Arabic-only modes, inspect each rule, and copy zero-dependency JavaScript examples.

Normalized Value
مؤيد Faris-Smith

Copyable JavaScript Baseline

Repeat the same validation on the server before trusting the value.

const NAME_PATTERN = /^[\p{L}\p{M} .'\u2019-]+$/u;

export function isValidName(value: string): boolean {
  const name = value.normalize("NFC").replace(/\s+/g, " ").trim();
  return name.length >= 2 && name.length <= 100 &&
    /\p{L}/u.test(name) && NAME_PATTERN.test(name);
}

How to use

  1. Choose a field profile: personal name, phone number, or Arabic text.
  2. Use inclusive mode for real-world multilingual data, or Arabic-only mode only when it is a genuine product requirement.
  3. Enter a value and review every validation check plus the normalized result.
  4. Copy the zero-dependency JavaScript example and adapt its length limits to your application.

Understanding the output

The validator returns separate checks instead of one opaque error. Names use Unicode letters and combining marks, phone numbers convert Arabic and Persian digits before counting, and Arabic text is checked for script content and invisible controls.

Common issues & tips

  • Do not reject a personal name merely because it contains Latin letters, apostrophes, hyphens, or combining marks.
  • Phone shape validation does not prove that a number exists or belongs to the user. Use SMS or another ownership check when required.
  • Client-side validation improves feedback but must be repeated on the server at the trust boundary.

Frequently asked questions

Should an Arabic name field reject Latin letters?
Usually no. Real names can contain multiple scripts, combining marks, apostrophes, hyphens, and spaces. Use inclusive mode unless Arabic-only input is a genuine business requirement.
Does phone validation prove that a number is real?
No. It checks characters, digit count, plus-sign placement, and produces a normalized value. Verify ownership separately with SMS or another confirmation flow.
Is client-side validation enough?
No. Client-side checks improve feedback, but the same constraints must run on the server before storing or trusting submitted data.
Is my form data uploaded?
No. Validation runs entirely in your browser.
