Islamic Questions & Answers
I am a muslim women who want's to marry a
christain man I am not a relgious person but, my
family is and I am having a very hard time this
matter. I've known this person for ten years. My
parents are not really religious but my father is
afraid of his mother and what they are going to say
about his daughter marrying a christian man. my
husband to be has converted to the islamic religion
but according to my partents and family this is not
good enough. please help what should i do. my husband
to be is aware of childeren and also is aware that
they will be taught the islamic religion.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is regrettable indeed that anyone would fail to
adhere to the religion which Allaah has commanded us
to adhere to. What is even more distressing is the
fact that a Muslim woman would have a relationship (of
any kind) with a non-related Christian man for ten
years, when she knows that this is something which
angers Allaah, Who has forbidden believing women to do
such things in the Qur'an (interpretation of the
meaning): "… they should be chaste, not adulterous,
nor taking boyfriends…" [al-Nisaa' 4:25]. Equally
upsetting is the fact that what this Muslim girl's
father fears most – with regard to the marriage
described – is not Allaah, but what his mother will
say and how his reputation among his relatives will be
affected.
In any case, there is no way out of this problem now
except one: this man must become Muslim in a real
sense, and start to practise Islam, and he and this
girl should repent for what they have done. Then
marrying him will be permissible, and what people may
say does not matter, so long as everything is done in
accordance with Islam and in a way that will not earn
the anger of Allaah; the matter can also be explained
to close relatives. If this is not possible, then the
relationship with this man should be cut completely,
and all thought of him should be dismissed from one's
mind. If, my sister, you feel that there is some
harshness in this answer, then by Allaah it is only in
your best interests and out of concern for you. We ask
Allaah to accept our repentance and have mercy on us,
for He is the One Who accepts repentance and is
All-Merciful.
