Fatwa #183412 January 2001Pakistan

Marrige with Non-Muslim (idol worshipper).

Question

I did court marriage with a non-muslim girl as she didnt believe in idol worship and later did nikaah with her after she accepted islam. Now due to some reasons she started idol worship, can i continue with her?

Answer

Idol worship is Shirk (ascribing partners with Allah Ta'ala). The person in
question has lost her Imaan upon committing Shirk and is no longer a Muslim.
The Nikaah has automatically terminated forthwith. You are no longer husband
and wife and cannot live together.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.

Mufti E. Desai
