Answer:
Marry hindu
disbeliever
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 unbelieving women (idolaters) until they believe; a
slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman even though she
allure you. Nor marry (your girls)
to unbelievers until they believe: a man slave who believes is better
than un unbeliever even though he allure you.
Unbelievers 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.
Beloved Sister, it is absolutely illegal and unlawful in
Islamic Law for a ‘muslim’ woman to marry any other than a ‘muslim’ man; thus a
marriage between a believing woman and a Hindu man would be absolutely
unlawful, illegal, invalid and a grave sin in the Sight of Shariah Law and of
Allah Subhanah.
But if the Hindu brother, of his own free will and choice,
chooses to revert to Islam and sincerely accept Islam as his way of life, then
he will be considered a ‘muslim’ and all the rights that are due to a muslim
will be accorded to him in full.
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
