I am going to inshallah marry a christian woman as a muslim man. I have a few questions about the marriage.
1) for the nikah is a wali mandatory and if so who would it be for her since none in her family is muslim?
2) is the wali needed to be present at the nikah or is his consent just needed?
Can a christian woman make chapati's, pakoras, kebabs and samosas?
I am not sure most Muslim women know how to make those either ya AbduAllah.. at any rate.. I think the query of the OP is best addressed at the mosque and not on the board...
Text without context is pretext If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him
Christians are committing shirk by believing in the trinity and worshipping Jesus (PBUH) and Maryam (AS) . Thus, Its is not permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Christian which it is Mushrik and the evidence for that is the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And do not marry Al-Mushrikaat till they believe (worship Allaah Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a Mushrikah, even though she pleases you”
When truth is hurled at falsehood , falsehood perishes. because falsehood by its nature is bound to perish [21:18- Holy quran]
If a Christian woman marries a Muslim, but holds on to her beliefs, such as the Sonship and Lordship of Christ, then ipso facto she holds on to a false belief and may be considered a "heretic" or an "infidel," if the Quran and traditional Islamic theology are followed consistently. Also, would the children be Muslims or Christians, or secular? The answer is clear, if Islam is followed consistently. What kind of marriage would this be? Where is the spiritual connection and agreement between husband and wife and God?
