Answer:
Can muslim girl marry
Christian boy
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 221:
221 Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters) until they believe; a
slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman even though she
allure you. Nor marry (your girls)
to unbelievers (idolaters) until they believe: a man slave who believes
is better than un unbeliever even though he allure you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the
fire. But Allah beckons by His grace to
the Garden (of Bliss) and forgiveness and makes His Signs clear to mankind:
that they may celebrate His praise.
It is absolutely prohibited and impermissible for a
believing woman to marry an unbelieving man in Islam, unless and until the
disbeliever accepts Islam.
The marriage of a believing woman to an unbelieving man
would be absolutely and totally illegal, unlawful, null and void in the Sight
of Shariah, in the sight of the believers, and a grave, heinous and manifest
transgression of the boundaries of Islam in the Sight of Allah Subhanah.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
