Answer:

 

Can muslim woman marry Christian

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 ‘mushrik’ women until they believe; a slave woman who believes is better than an idolatrous woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to ‘mushrik’ (men) until they believe: a man slave who believes is better than a disbeliever even though he allures you. Disbelievers 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.

 

Your Question: …my questions are, can a muslim woman marry a christain man?

It is categorically forbidden, prohibited, and absolutely ‘haraam’ for a believing woman to marry any man but a ‘muslim’; if indeed she fears and believes in Allah and the Last Day.

 

A ‘marriage’ between a believing woman and a disbeliever (regardless of whether that man be a pagan or from amongst the People of the Book) would be unlawful, illegal, null and void in the Sight of Shariah Law, in the Sight of Allah Subhanah, and in the sight of the believers.

 

Your Question: …..Becouse I read it in the Quran that,do not give ur daughters to idolleters, unblievers, or who do not blieve in ALLAH.so those that mean a Muslim woman can marry christain man, b/cos they believe in GOD.thank u. 

Respected sister in Islam, almost all human beings, regardless of whether they claim to be pagans (Hindus, Buddhists, etc.) or from amongst the ‘People of the Book’ (Jews or Christians) believe in the One All-Mighty God…..but because they associate other deities or small ‘gods’ with the One All-Mighty God, they are all ‘mushriks’ in the Sight of Allah Subhanah.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah Maidah verses 72-73:

72 They do blaspheme (and disbelieve) who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O children of Israel! Worship Allah my Lord and your Lord." Whosoever joins other gods with Allah, Allah will forbid him the Garden and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.

73 They do blaspheme (and disbelieve) who say: “Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy) verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.”

 

The followers of Christianity associate the Noble Messenger of Allah, Isa ibn Maryam (a.s.), as a Lord and a deity with Allah Subhanah; thus their belief in the One All-Mighty Lord Who created is tainted with manifest ‘shirk’ and is absolutely unacceptable to Allah Subhanah, the One and Only Lord of the Worlds!

 

If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led astray.

 

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
