In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving

 

All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad.

 

 No Muslim male is allowed to marry a non-Muslim girl except Christian or Jew and no Muslim female is allowed to marry a non-Muslim period.

 

Marriage comes in levels; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Although physical and emotional are things all humans can relate to each other, Islam wanted us to focus on the value of the spiritual part. (Seek one with Deen.)

 

Living under a man who does not recognize your God as one, does not believe in the Quran or as Mohammad (peace be upon him) being the last messenger should be a big issue for a Muslim.

Add to that the children born take the faith outside Islam. Add to that some of the practices that a Muslim female should be conscious of fasting during Ramadan, rulings of Tahara etc that might contradict what a non-Muslim husband might perceive in his practices.

That is why Allah did not permit a Muslim female to marry a non-Muslim “And a servant who is a believer is better than one with Shirk).”

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
