to the best of my knowledge, not necessarily, since many women married to non-muslims still remain practising muslims.

dont you become kaffir(?) if you are not muslim?
Re: Marriage To A Non-muslim by acidtalk: 3:45am On Jul 17, 2014
Any man or woman who marries a non Muslim even though they are Muslims only means they have become Kafir. @Deols, read through Q4 (An-Nisa) The Woman.

Samething the Christian and Jews will also say.

It is absolutely not permissible under any circumstances in Islamic law (shari'a) of Allah, the most esteemed and exhalted, for a non-Muslim to marry a Muslim woman.
Check Q2:221. It is clearly stated there.


I hope you are not considering it sister? Please don't o! Under no circumstances! Just don't give that thought any space in your head/mind.

Kaafir?? No

Sin?? Yes

Generally.

If it is done out of ignorance. The above is true.

If the woman justifies it, knowing fully well it is prohibited, then it is an act of kufr but it does not mean they can be called kafir. Only someone qualified can make that judgement.

And Allah knows best.

Sometimes, people know about this prohibition when they are already married because they become more conscious of Islam thereby creating a complex situation.

The most important thing here is that they maintain their Islam.

Allah might forgive sin but not kufr.

They might get the strength needed to make the right judgement call.

Sheikh Salih Almunaajid


I have some questions about Islam, could
you explain them for me? Is it permissible
for someone who follows Islam to marry
someone who does not follows Islam
without that person converting to Islam
after marriage?.


Praise be to Allaah.
It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry
a non-Muslim woman if she is Christian or
Jewish, but it is not permissible for him to
marry a non-Muslim woman who follows
any religion other than these two. The
evidence for that is the verse in which
Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
“Made lawful to you this day are
At‑Tayyibaat [all kinds of Halaal (lawful)
foods, which Allaah has made lawful (meat
of slaughtered eatable animals, milk
products, fats, vegetables and fruits)]. The
food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals)
of the people of the Scripture (Jews and
Christians) is lawful to you and yours is
lawful to them. (Lawful to you in marriage)
are chaste women from the believers and
chaste women from those who were given
the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before
your time when you have given their due
Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband
to his wife at the time of marriage),
desiring chastity (i.e. taking them in legal
wedlock) not committing illegal sexual
intercourse, nor taking them as girlfriends”
[al-Maa'idah 5:4]
Imam al-Tabari said in his commentary on
this verse:
“ chaste women from the believers and
chaste women from those who were given
the Scripture ” means, free woman among
those whom have been given the Scripture,
namely the Jews and Christians who believe
in what is in the Tawraat (Torah) and Injeel
(Gospel) from among the people who came
before you, O believers in Muhammad,
whether from among the Arabs or other
people; you are permitted to marry them
“ when you have given their due Mahr
(bridal-money given by the husband to his
wife at the time of marriage) ” which means,
if you give to those whom you marry of
your (Muslims’) chaste women and their
(Jews’ and Christians’) chaste women their
mahrs or dowries.”
( Tafseer al-Qurtubi , 6/104)
But it is not permissible for a Muslim man
to marry a Magian (Zoroastrian) woman or
a communist woman or an idol-worshipping
woman, etc.
The evidence for that is the verse in which
Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
“And do not marry Al-Mushrikaat
(idolatresses) till they believe (worship
Allaah Alone). And indeed a slave woman
who believes is better than a (free)
Mushrikah (idolatress), even though she
pleases you”
[al-Baqarah 2:221]
A mushrikah is an idol-worshipping woman
who worships stones, whether from among
the Arabs or others.
It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to
marry a non-Muslim from any other
religion, whether from among the Jews or
Christians, or any other kaafir religion. It is
not permissible for her to marry a Jew, a
Christian, a Magian, a communist, an idol-
worshipper, etc.
The evidence for that is the verse in which
Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
“And give not (your daughters) in marriage
to Al‑Mushrikoon till they believe (in Allaah
Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better
than a (free) Mushrik (idolater), even
though he pleases you. Those (Al-
Mushrikoon) invite you to the Fire, but
Allaah invites (you) to Paradise and
forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His
Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,
signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind
that they may remember”
[al-Baqarah 2:221]
Imam al-Tabari said:
What is said concerning the interpretation
of the words “ And give not (your daughters)
in marriage to Al‑Mushrikoon till they
believe (in Allaah Alone) and verily, a
believing slave is better than a (free)
Mushrik (idolater), even though he pleases
you” is that what Allaah meant by that is
that Allaah has forbidden the believing
women to give birth to a mushrik, no
matter what kind of shirk he believes in.
So, O believers, do not give your daughters
in marriage to them, for that is forbidden to
you. For you to give them in marriage to a
believing slave who believes in Allaah and
His Messenger and that which he brought
from Allaah is better for you than to give
them in marriage to a free mushrik even if
he is of noble descent and honourable
origins, even if you like his descent and
background…
It was narrated that Qutaadah and al-Zuhri
said, concerning the phrase “ And give not
(your daughters) in marriage to
Al‑Mushrikoon ”, It is not permissible for
you to give them in marriage to a Jew or a
Christian or a mushrik who is not a follower
of your religion. ( Tafseer al-Qurtubi ,
2/379).

To the best of my knowledge, If knowingly done, it doesn't make the woman a kafir but sure makes her an adulterer because the marriage is invalid under the Shariah.

The outcome of such relationship still does not rule out the fact that it is an invalid marriage, more or less an adulterous relationship. And you'll agree with me that in this instance, the probability of the kids being muslim is very low.
