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
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
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.

well wisher in Islam,
