Thinking of Marrying a Non-Muslim? Muslims are allowed to marry a non-Muslim but there are few conditions attached to it.
Imam al-Tabari has given a fatwa that Muslim men are allowed to marry a Non-Muslim woman who is either Christian or Jew. Both Christians and Jews are among the people who believe in Injeel and Torah.
So, this marriage is completely valid with Jew or Christian but a Muslim must pay the Mahr first. Mahr is the cost that is handed over to the bride by the groom at the time of their marriage.
Even if they’re Jews or Christians Muslim men must pay the Mahr and refrain from using them like their girlfriends.
It is a restriction that a Muslim woman can’t marry a Jew or Christian. She can marry them after they convert to Islam. The scholars have given fatwas on this topic as well.
Any person which worships idols, such as Buddhist or a Hindu or anyone related to them and the one who does not follow any teachings of the prophets of Allah is called a Mushrik.
Allah SWT in the Quran made it clear that a Muslim man cannot marry a Mushrik Woman.
In this case, if you want to marry her, she must convert to Islam otherwise, the marriage will not be valid.
A slave beliver slave woman is 10 times better than a Mushrik woman.
Just like Muslim men, Muslim women also can not marry a Mushrik man. This has been stated very clearly in the Quran.
The same thing goes here, if she intends to marry that man, then he must convert to Islam otherwise their marriage can never be completed.
So marrying a Non-Muslim is allowed in Islam, if the man or woman is Jew or Christian but if they are Mushrik, you can never marry them.

Why can a man marry other religons while a women can`t?
Because a man is the leader of the family unit therefore he can ensure the children are raised with respect to Allah SWT where as a woman generally cannot overpower her husband's decisions when it comes to how the children will be raised. This is into consideration that the children might take after their father's Haram habits and she will be powerless to try and change things where as a muslim man can exert some authority to prevent this from happening.
What if the muslim woman adores that man? to what certian is she allowed to marry him at?
In Islamic teachings, the general consensus is that Muslim women are not allowed to marry non-Muslim men. This restriction is primarily based on the concern for maintaining religious and cultural harmony within the household, as well as ensuring the preservation of Islamic values for future generations. However, it is important to note that interpretations may vary among scholars and communities.
If a Muslim woman finds herself deeply attracted to a non-Muslim man, it is recommended for her to seek guidance from knowledgeable individuals or scholars who can provide a more personalized and detailed understanding of her situation. They can offer advice on how to reconcile her feelings with the religious guidelines she follows.
Ultimately, it is crucial for Muslims to prioritize their faith and its principles in making life choices, including marriage. Marriage is a significant commitment, and being on the same religious path can contribute to a stronger foundation for a successful and fulfilling relationship.
Deen over dunya. Give dawah, if he accepts Islam, all good and marry, if not turn away leave him for the pleasure of Allah, and Allah will give you something better
