Marriage (32):

Q1: Is marrying an Indian girl who is practicing Hinduism allowed in Islam?

A: No, It is not allowed.

Q2: Is it allowed for Muslim women to marry Christian Men?

A: It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a Christian man.

Q3: I know that a Muslim man can marry a Christian woman as long as the children are Muslim. But are there not any other rules that the man and woman must follow before they are allowed to marry

A: Marrying a Christian woman is allowed but it is better to choose a Muslim wife when possible.
The father is obligated to raise the children properly in such a way that they become believers, perform the obligatory deeds and avoid the prohibitions. It is better to choose nice ways so they may be more affected and accepting. Almighty Allah says: “O ye who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire whereof the fuel is men and stones” Verse 6, chapter 66.

Q4: Is it possible to have a permanent marriage with a follower of the Christian Faith, or only temporary?

A: It is permissible to marry a Christian wife temporarily and permanently. Marrying her permanently is invalid without the permission of the Muslim wife if he is married to one.

Q5: A Muslim couple got separated for a long time. Is it permissible for him to marry, temporarily or permanently, a woman from Ahlul Kitab without the knowledge of his Muslim wife?
Is it permissible for him to marry, with the permission of his Muslim wife?

A: It is permissible to permanently marry a woman from the people of the book with the consent of the muslin wife and not without it.
If the marriage is temporarily then the consent of the Muslim wife is not required.

Q6: I live in an area where majority are Christians, I made a mutah contract with her without asking her if she is ahlulkitab or not, and I also consummated the marriage, but I very believe she is a Christian.
have I committed a very prohibited act and if I made a mistake would it be taken as a very huge sin?

A: If there is doubt about her religion – whether it is Christianity or not, then one must make sure that Islam excepts marrying a woman with such a religion. If the marriage contract took place without checking the religion and it was unacceptable, then this act is prohibited and considered as adultery.

Q7: What is your kind opinion on marriage of a Non Syed boy with girl from Syed family. Is it within limits and permissible?

A: The honor of a girl from a sayyid family is from her linage to the prophet (peace be upon him) and his honor is because of his obedience to the Lord. Almighty Allah said: "The noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct". The messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "A devotee man is a match to a devotee woman". He also said: "If you are satisfied with the religion and ethics of the man that is seeking marriage from your family, then by all means accept him. If you do not, a big disorder and sedition will occur".

Q8: I want to ask that can a syed shia girl marry a non syed shia boy is it allowed. Some people say that if such marriage happens that couple does not lead a happy life. They face more problems in life than others. Is this true?

A: It is allowed and there is no foundation to such fear.

Q9: Is marriage of Sayyed woman to a non-Sayyed man allowed?

A: There is nothing in the holy Quran or in the traditions of the prophet and of the Ahlulbyte that prohibits such a marriage. Furthermore, religious texts reported that devotees are equal to each other. In addition, several texts stated that the prophet and the Ahlulbyte said: "if you were approached - to seek marriage - by whoever you are satisfied with his religion and his ethics then by all means accept him. If you did not, there will be mischief and huge riots". The messenger of Allah himself implemented this practically according to what is narrated by Imam Sadiq: "The messenger of Allah married Dhubaa the daughter of his uncle Zubair the son of Abdul Muttalib to Muqdad bin Amro. He did that to show (that) the marriage is simple, for you to act similarly and to know that the noblest among you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Zubair was a full brother to Abdullah (the prophet's father) and to Abu Talib (Imam Ali's father)".

Q10: I have read on your site that it is permissible for a syed girl to marry a non syed boy. Are there any conditions to this?

A: Yes, It is permissible and there is no specific conditions. Yes, respecting the wife when she is a Sayyida is confirmed as it is guarding the noble lineage of the messenger of Allah (peace be upon Him and His holy progeny).
