What is the Islamic ruling regarding a father in case his children from a Christian wife become Christian? Is it Shirk?

%0D%0AAllah Ta'ala says, 'Verily the (accepted) religion by Allah is Islam.' In%0D%0Aanother verse, Allah Ta'ala says, 'And whosoever searches for a religion%0D%0Abesides Islam, it will not be accepted from him.'%0D%0A%0D%0AIn view of the above, it is clear that Islam does not recognise as presently%0D%0Aaccepted religions, any other religion, including Christianity and Judaism.%0D%0AThey (Christianity and Judaism) were accepted religions of the past. All the%0D%0Apast accepted religions have been permanently replaced by Islam.%0D%0A%0D%0AShari'ah has granted a Muslim male to marry a Christian or Jewish female in%0D%0Aorder to prevail over her and convert her to Islam. The children in such a%0D%0Amarriage will be subordinate of the father, not the mother. If the children%0D%0Adid not learn and follow Islam, that is the weakness of the father. If he%0D%0Awas negligent in their upbringing, then he will be sinful for his children%0D%0Abecoming Christians. It is precisely for such unforeseen but possible%0D%0Acircumstances, Shari'ah discourages marriage to a Christian or Jewish%0D%0Afemale. In today's time of weakness in Imaan, very few Muslim men are able%0D%0Ato prevail over their Christian and Jewish wives.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai%0D%0AFATWA DEPT.%0D%0A
