Muslim-Non-Muslim marriage in the eyes of Islam

Islam is the only system of life that has the generosity and capacity to build a global society. Islam has all the ingredients to build a large society irrespective of religion and caste. In this religion, there is no discrimination in manners and social behavior between Ahl al-Kitab, Muslims and followers of different religions living in the same state. There is no difference between the People of the Book (Judeo-Christians) and other Kafirs in food other than meat.

It means that each other can accept each other's halal food. There is no difference between the People of the Book and the Muslims in the matter of meat. If a halal animal is slaughtered in the name of Allah by one of the People of the Book, it is permissible for Muslims to eat it. Apart from this, Islam has given them the opportunity for social partnership, courtesy and association. It is permissible to trade with non-Muslims anything lawful. It has even been declared lawful to marry women of the People of the Book. It has been said, '...the believing chaste women and the chaste women of the People of the Book have been made lawful for you... (Surah: Maida, verse: 5)

But it should also be remembered that Islam is a separate religion. Hence some differences between Islam and other religions are retained in terms of kinship, intimacy and sociability. For example, it is permissible for Muslims to marry women of the Book; But the marriage of Muslim women with any Ahl al-Kitab man is not valid.

Any form of marital relationship with followers of religions other than Ahl al-Kitab is not valid. Therefore, the followers of these religions will not be considered Ahl al-Kitab, as the fact that the conventional Hindu, Buddhist, Baha'i, Sikh and Confucian religions are not irrefutably proven to be heavenly religions. Therefore, any type of marriage between Muslim men and women is not valid with them. In this context, Allah the Exalted said, 'Do not marry polytheist women until you believe, even if polytheist women charm you... Do not marry (your wives) to polytheist men until you believe, even if polytheist men fascinate you…. (Surah: Baqarah, verse: 211)

Another verse says, '...do not marry the women of the disbelievers... (Surah: Mumtahina, verse: 10)

There is no scope for Muslim women to marry men of other religions. In this context, there is a verse, 'O believers! When believing women migrate to you, test them, for Allah knows best about their faith. Then if you find them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers. Believing women are not lawful for infidels. And the infidels are also not halal for them. (Surah: Mumtahina, verse: 10)

Imam Abdur Razzaq (RA), the teacher of Imam Bukhari (RA), wrote in his book, Abu Zubair (RA) said, I heard Jaber (RA) saying, Women of the People of the Book are lawful for us (Muslims). But our women are forbidden to them. (Musannaf Abdur Razzaq: 6/43)

Zayd Bin Wahhab (R.A.) said about the action of Caliph Umar (R.A.) in this regard, 'Umar (R.A.) sent a letter to the effect that Muslim men can marry Christian women. But no Christian man can marry a Muslim woman. (Qanjulummal: 16/548)

The encyclopedia of Islamic law published by the Waqf Ministry of Kuwait states, 'It is haram for a Muslim to marry a woman who does not have a book (ie who does not believe in any divine book). ’ (Al Mawsuatul Fiqhiyah Al Qutiyah: 35/26)

Why this provision? Why Muslim women are not allowed to marry elsewhere? In response to this, the greatest Muslim philosopher of the subcontinent, Shah Wali Ullah Muhaddes Dehlavi (R.H.), wrote, 'The relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims, especially through marriage, is one of the reasons for destroying religious values. Through this, knowingly or unknowingly, kufr (anti-Islamic beliefs and practices) enters the heart (so it is not permissible to marry people other than the People of the Book). But the People of the Book, Jews and Christians believe in the Divine Sharia (religious law). They accept the fundamentals of Shari'ah (i.e. Monotheism, Prophethood and the Hereafter). As a result, the destruction of religious values ​​in contact with them is less harmful than other religions. But the fire-worshippers, idolaters and polytheists are exceptions to this (i.e. marriage with them is prohibited due to differences with them in all fundamental, sectarian and cultural matters. Because it can have a radical effect on the way of life). '

Shah Wali Ullah (RA) wrote in this context why Muslim men can marry Ahl al-Kitab women, 'The husband's role in marital life is influential. Wives come under the supervision of their husbands. As a result, if a Muslim Ahl al-Kitab woman marries, the Muslim man has less opportunity to influence his religious life. So this marriage is allowed. (Hujjatullahil Balega: 2/133)

From this statement of Shah Wali Ullah, it is also understood why a Muslim woman cannot be married to another religion. In other words, as the husband's role in the marital life becomes influential and powerful, the religious lifestyle of Muslim women can be greatly relaxed. Therefore, under no circumstances is it permissible to marry a Muslim woman to someone of another religion. But this is an argument. Even if this argument is not valid anywhere, the marriage is not valid. Because the main reason why such a marriage is illegal is that Allah Almighty has not allowed such a marriage.

Imam Alauddin Kasani (RA) wrote, 'Marrying non-Muslim women is legal for the purpose of converting to Islam.

Before this, they believed in previous prophets and heavenly books. If they are married to a Muslim, the Muslim person can call them to Islam. ’ (Badayyus Sana’i: 2/270)

Along with the interfaith marriage policy, it is also important to know that if a person leaves Islam and becomes an apostate, his marriage will be considered null and void. It is not permissible for a Muslim to marry an unbeliever. The Muslim nation agrees with this. In Al Fiqh Alal Majahibil Arba'a, written on the fourth Madhhab, the five points of the apostates are unanimously rejected. Its main and first provision is, 'Marriage of apostates is unconditionally nullified. ’ (Al Fiqh Alal Majahibil Arbaa: 4/106)

Azhar's fatwa in Jame' Misr is: 'The Ulama are unanimous that the marriage of apostates is annulled. (Fatawa al-Azhar: 1/324)

It must be remembered that the marriage of Ahl al-Kitab, Jews and Christians is not unconditional. Mufti Taqi Usmani, a former judge of the Sharia Bench of Pakistan and a member of the Fatwa Board of OIC, wrote, "According to Islamic Sharia, a Christian woman can be married to a Muslim man. However, the condition is that the woman must be a true Christian. Don't be like the Christians of today, who are Christians in name only. They are atheists by faith. The second condition is that the marriage must be performed in the presence of two witnesses in accordance with Islamic law. (Fatawa Usmani: 2/257)

Apart from this, there are some other conditions. For example, the women in the Book must be chaste. Can't be anti-Islamic. It must be ensured that there is no possibility of harm to Islam and Muslims through this marriage. And a woman of the Ahl al-Kitab of Darul Kufr cannot be married, etc.

The main point of this long discussion is - one. The marriage of a Muslim man with a Judeo-Christian woman is conditionally valid. Two. It is not permissible under any circumstances to marry a Muslim woman to a man of another religion. Three. It is not permissible to establish any kind of marital relationship with followers of religions other than Judeo-Christians such as Hindus, Buddhists, Bahais, Sikhs, etc.

The question is if a Muslim woman has previously been married to another religion, what should she do? The answer is, maybe the husband will be converted into a Muslim and remarried. If that is not possible, they will soon be separated. (Apke Masayel Aur Unka Hall: 6/143)

And if a child is born through a marriage that is not permitted by Islam, the child will bear the identity of Islam. However, the condition is that if the child is a minor, then he will be considered a Muslim. In this regard, the book of Islamic law "Hedaya" states, "If one of the husband and wife is a Muslim, then the child will be considered to be of his religion - that is, Islam." (Hedaya: 2/346)

But if the child becomes an adult, he will find the right path himself. He will decide his destiny. In the Holy Qur'an, there is no compulsion in religion. The right path has become clear from the wrong path. (Surah: Baqarah, verse: 256)

Finally, one thing needs to be clarified. The point is, marriage is a social and religious bond. This marriage is performed in the name of Allah by reciting Quran and Hadith. So there is no opportunity to ignore religious instructions in this regard. There is no alternative for Muslims to follow the guidance of the Quran and Hadith. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, 'Marriage is my Sunnah (ideal). And whoever does not follow my Sunnah, is not of my party (Muslim). (Ibn Majah, Hadith: 1946)

May Allah guide us to the right path. Amen.
