How would most Muslims react if a Muslim girl got married to a non-Muslim?

Oh YOU look at the Quran and see what's relevant and what's not.
Sorry didn't realise we had a sheikh on TSR.

You to your Islamic beliefs and to me mine. My marriage is both valid islamically and legally and there's nothing you can do to change that.

We can marry non muslim men and I'm married to one

If you renounce your own powers of thinking and deciding what's relevant to your life then that's your own problem I'm afraid.

You are wrong. You cannot and must not marry a non-Muslim man if you want to be Muslim. That's is absolutely not Islamic. There is no "my Islamic belief" and "your Islamic belief"- there is only one Islamic stance on the issue and that is that it is completely sinful to marry a non-Christian.

Coming from a religious Muslim family who also keeps in very close touch with his Imam (to gain better understanding of Islam), this would be haram. The guy HAS to convert. I would seriously speak to her parents and get it sorted because first of all she has been "dating". Doesn't take long to realise that's haram. The guy has to convert otherwise it could be haram. Just to clarify that means she will be getting punished and possibly in the eyes of Allah doing what is classified as an unforgiving sin.

Tbh, knowing the public, they would gossip the hell out of her. Knowing girls (without sounding sexist) lots of them can be immature (like men). My point is that it could just be an infatuation in the same way that many teenagers have crushes and think they have found love. I highly doubt she is in love seriously. Although if she does istakharah and still and gets others to do it also and the same result, then speak to parents etc and get him to convert. Obviously he won't feel comfortable because of obvious reasons I don't want to state so then move on.


If she really is a good Muslim, she will find someone even better. Allah's rule is you get in what you put in. You put hardwork in you will succeed in exams , otherwise fail. You be a good muslim and person, you will find what you desire in a partner.

For me it is valid islamicaly end of and you're not going to change my opinion on that

I look at the Quran holistically and see what is relevant to today's society and what isn't. What's the point in following rules blindly without thinking about them when they might not even concern your personal situation or circumstances (?)

Exactly, preach it brother. Islam is a religion that must be adapted to the times you live in.

Are you qualified to make fetwas? if not then what does that make of your opinion regarding this matter? We cannot change religions to suit our interests they wouldn't be religions.

In islam, the reality is that marriage between a muslim and a non-muslim is forbidden but this depends on which school of thought you follow and different clerics within the same school have different opinions on this matter.

Make your choices based on informed opinions. if you are a muslim and interested in marrying a non-muslim, seek consultation from a learned cleric about this issue. Ask around. Go to the biggest clerics in the world. The beautiful thing about our relgion is that our biggest clerics are very accessible. They're obliged to reply to every single person that contacts them for advice.

I am a shia. Before I got married I contact the grand Ayatollah sistani concerning my wanting to marry a christian girl. This was back in Saddam's era....lol it took him 6 months to reply. I still have his letter. Its like getting a letter from a president really...lol I'm very honoured by it. it acted as an informed guide for me in my choices.

My opinion on this is all that matters. I am not looking to marry a non Muslim because I'm already married to one and the marriage is valid both isoamically and legally.

Out of interest, do you have children?

What do they follow?

Pissed off

For the marriage to be halal, the non-muslim partner must convert to Islam. There's nothing more or nothing les to it. The girl would be committing a massive sin if she was to marry a Christian.

For the sake of Love just marry him.

No thanks? I am only going to marry a Muslim.

Is that exclusively because of the teaching within your holy text, or are there personal reasons too? (just wondering, it helps to me to understand why people think the things they do )

Both.
