Why marry the people of Hell?

It is not permissible for a Muslim female to marry a non-Muslim male.%0D%0AHowever, a Muslim male may marry only Christian or Jewish female. It is not%0D%0Apermissible for a Muslim male to marry any other non-Muslim female. This is%0D%0Athe law of Allah Ta'ala and, as Muslims, we express submission by simply%0D%0Aobeying Allah without questioning his order. However, every order of Allah%0D%0ATa'ala is full of wisdom.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe reason it is permissible for the Muslim male to marry a non-Muslim%0D%0Afemale is that he would be able to easily convince the Christian or Jewish%0D%0Awife into accepting Islam as she believes in a heavenly revealed. This is%0D%0Anot so for a Hindu or an adherent of any other religion. There is a%0D%0Apossibility of the non-Muslim male convincing his Muslim wife into%0D%0Aabandoning Islam. Therefore, Islam has considered her feminine nature and%0D%0Aprotected her correct beliefs from being a victim of abuse from the male%0D%0Adominance.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe Muslim husband is not obliged to pressurise his Christian%2FJewish wife to%0D%0Aaccept Islam. He may apply wisdom and diplomacy and only influence her to%0D%0AIslam. In Islam, a female is equally respected as a male, however, due to%0D%0Athe different masculine and feminine natures, Islam believes in separation%0D%0Aof roles. It is obvious that there are many things a male can do, which is%0D%0Anot easily possible for a female and vice versa.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai%0D%0AFATWA DEPT.%0D%0A%0D%0A
