Ruling On A Muslim Man Marrying A Non-muslim Woman And Vice Versa by Realismailakabir: 1:15am On Nov 27, 2020
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?

Answer:

Praise be to Allah.

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 from marrying 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).

I will not advise any muslim man to marry non-muslim woman except he is knowledgeably sound enough in islamic knowledge to convert her to islam! If you dont understand islam marry a woman that can make you a better muslim, if you are strong in islam with knowledge you can marry a christian and convert her, this act will serve as Da'wah. We've heard and seen many muslim men losing their faith and their children to another religion because they have no islamic knowledge and went ahead to marry non muslim. This is wrong, because the wisdom behind a muslim man being able to marry non muslim woman and vice verse is not allowed is because it is easier for a man to convert his wife to islam than a woman converting a man.

Yeah, it is us vs them or call it whatever you like. That's why you're not coordinated making a comment in four places instead of one. And the ninny is claiming it is us vs them mentality. You enter a thread and made four silly comments that has no atom of sense just to chase clout.

When someone went to court to remove Arabic from the .... It wasn't "them vs us"then. But you guys have Saturdays and Sundays your worship days as perpetual days of rest. Almost all hospitals are blemished with cross. Even names like provost, rectors, etc and matriculation/convocation gowns were obtained from christianity.

It's only when Muslims talk that they mustn't talk.

If Muslims can Islamise, can't Christians too christianize?

To the topic, we can marry Christian and Jewish females. But not males.
It's better not to marry anyone except like minds.

So by what you quoted

There are two groups

Group 1: these are people of the book. People who Allah (swt) has given his message before Mohammed. They are Jews and Christians.

Group 2: these are people who are idolaters. They have not heard or in anyway accepy the words of Allah in anytime past.


Now you said that Muslim men are allowed to marry women of the book. Women in category 1 because they are not idolaters. At least they better than idolaters.

Then the Hadith says do not give your daughters I.e for Muslim men to Mushirk( idolaters) these are people in group 2. Not group one. People of the book are not Mushirkoons.

Then you went ahead to say that Muslim women are not allowed to marry Christian and jews. Is this not a wrong interpretation.

The Quran does not lie

For if the first verse does not put Christian women and Jewish women as idolaters

Why does the second hadith place Christian and Jewish males according to you
