Aslam

Praise be to Allah.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, as per

what He has said regarding the marriage of a kafir (unbeliever) to a Muslim woman and

vice versa: (interpretation of the meaning).

They are not lawful (wives) for the unbelievers, nor are the unbelievers lawful

(husbands) for them... (Al-Mumtahina:10)

And Allah the most esteemed and exhalted has also said (interpretation of the meaning):

Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe... (Al-Baqara:221)

i.e., it is not ever permissable for someone to marry his Muslim daughter or sister or any

Muslim woman for whom he is a guardian to a kafir.

Islam must be exhalted and cannot be subjugated, so how could a Muslim woman be

put under the care of a kafir man, when the man is normally naturally in a stronger

position? In such a situation he could cause her to corrupt the practice of her religion or

force her into subdual by causing her to live a life of oppression with him. He could also

prevent her from practicing some of her religious rites. These are among the reasons for

the aforementioned ban expressed in the previous ayaat. wallahu a'lam (and Allah is the

most knowledgable).
