Answer:
Brother marries hindu
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 none 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 idolatrous women until they believe; a slave woman who believes is better than an idolatrous woman,
even though she allures you. Nor marry
(your girls) to disbelievers until they believe: a man slave who believes is
better than a disbeliever even though he allures you. Disbelievers 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.
A ‘marriage’ between a believer and a pagan woman is
categorically forbidden, unlawful, haraam, null, and void in the Sight of
Shariah Law and in the Sight of Allah Subhanah.
Such an abomination of a ‘marriage’ has absolutely no legal status in
Islam!
The child born of such an unlawful union will be
considered illegitimate and born out of wedlock in the Sight of Shariah Law, in
the Sight of Allah Subhanah, and in the sight of the believers.
In spite of the manifest transgressions of the Laws of
Allah done by your brother, he will remain your brother and all the rights that
are due to one’s own brother will be due to him in full. The unlawful ‘wife’ of your brother, and the
illegitimate child resulting from that union will have or bear absolutely no
legal relationships with you in the least in the Sight of Shariah Law.
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
