Fatwa #18027 August 2000Pakistan

If a Muslim man chooses to marry and non muslim girl, who happens to be a Buddhist, is there a way that the marriage can be recognized Islamically?

Answer

It is not permissible to marry a Budhist female. She has to convert to Islam
in order for the marriage to be valid.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Mufti Ebrahim Desai

#18518I am a Canadian Muslim. I have two sons and one daughter. My son who is 28 years old would like to marry a 20 year old Christian girl. I know Islam permits marriage with Ahl-e-Kitab. The question is that I live in a remote place where there is no Muslim around.

Something wrong with this record?
