Marriage to a non-muslim

[noor grant]

SubhanAllah
Look at how judgemental our Ummah is. The sister only posted once in the forum and I would be surprised if she ever comes back.
Is that what we want in this forum?

As-salam alaikum,

nevermind, i though this was a new topic.

You know its a funny old world..

And its a small world.

The whole point of not marrying unbelievers is?

..well

You would not like to introduce a snake into the family.

Please get confirmation its a ladder first.


And thats the irony really, most people marry the family.

Save yourselves and your families from the fires of hell.

...badly paraphrased.


..and dont take unbelievers as protectors or allies.


Its like the flippin hunger games out here.

Anyway i know that makes little sense so i went eid one year and the imam said..

“If you want to know where you stand with Allah, look where Allah stands with you.”

Hope that helps.

But if he were muslim then things would be slightly different.. right?

Wa alaykum assalam,

I read through this thread, I can't say anyone was particularly rude or 'judgemental'. Scholars are pretty much unanimous on the fact that a Muslim woman cannot marry a non-Muslim man.

Of course, sometimes Muslims can be *very* judgemental about a lot of things but this thread is not an example of that.

The sister was given some sincere advice and I make dua that Allah swt gives her the strength to make the right decision.

Salaam Brothers and Sisters,

I have a question regarding a muslim woman marrying a non-muslim man. I have met a man who I think, in terms of character, I could be happily married to for the rest of my life. We have spoken about marriage, and how it would be impossible for my parents to accept any relationship between us. He is from a hindu family, but somewhere along the way lost his faith and now simply believes that there is a god and in being a good person you can live a prosperous life. I am a Muslim and have non-shakeable faith, something I would never give up, and he is well aware of this. He does not eat pork and has quit drinking, and has made it abundantly clear that he has no problem with me practicing my faith and raising my children (were they to be his) as muslims. As far as I have researched, these are essentially the only reasons provided in prohibiting a muslim woman from marrying a non-muslim man. Under such clear circumstances, what sort of objection could be offered to our potential marriage? Why is it that I would still not be allowed to marry him?

JazakAllah Khair for any feedback and for lending your ears.

sister, your best bet, tell him to convert to islam as thats the only way you can marry him; you will 'still not be allowed' to marry him because Allah says so really ... There are lots of wise reasons for this but lets just take it on trust for now


inshallah if hes a good person at heart than maybe he will see the truth of islam so tell him too look into islam good and proper; give him some time and after that if he says 'no', then it should be a no from you too!
