She wants to marry a non  Muslim but who believes in God. How can I stop her as I know it is not  permitted. She says if it is permitted for men, why is it not permitted  for women.<\/p>","answer":"<div class=\"list-group-item-text ftwa-single-answer font-nrmal\"><span class=\"line_height\">\r\n<p>Praise       be to Allaah.<\/p>\r\n<p>It is not permitted for        a Muslim man to marry a mushrik woman, or for a Muslim woman to marry a        mushrik man. There are no exceptions to this except for marriage to women        of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians), if they are chaste. This        is what is indicated by the evidence of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah        of His Messenger  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and        this is what the ummah is unanimously agreed upon. It is not permissible        for us to oppose the ruling of Allaah with our reasoning. Allaah says        (interpretation of the meaning):<\/p>\r\n<p><em>&ldquo;It is not for a      believer, man or woman, when Allaah and His Messenger have decreed a matter      that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys      Allaah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed into a plain error&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em>[al-Ahzaab 33:36]<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>This woman has to fear      Allaah. Whoever fears Allaah, Allaah will make a way out for him. She should      also know that if she marries a non-Muslim man, even if he is one of the      People of the Book, this marriage in unacceptable in Islam, rather it comes      under the rulings on zinaa (fornication, adultery), because this is an      invalid marriage contract.<\/p>\r\n<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 3px; padding-right: 6px; text-align: right;\">Shaykh &lsquo;Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayr<\/div>","status":1,"created_at":"2015-04-12T20:51:59.000000Z","updated_at":"2015-04-12T20:51:59.000000Z","language_id":1,"fatawacate_id":43,"parent_id":11183,"author_id":"","books":[],"articles":[],"videos":[],"audios":[],"author_name":"","category_name":"\u0627\u0644\u0623\u0646\u0643\u062d\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0627\u0637\u0644\u0629","category_slug":"","get_date":"2015-04-12"},"translations":[],"fatawa_books":[],"fatawa_articles":[],"fatawa_videos":[],"fatawa_audios":[],"url":"http:\/\/islamland.com\/eng\/api\/fatawas\/11184"}
