Answer:
Boy loves hindu girl
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 no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your
Question: how is it possible, and what are the things they have to do before
marriage.
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 brother in Islam, Allah Subhanah has absolutely
prohibited and forbidden the believers to seek to marry an idolatrous woman;
such a union will be absolutely illegal, unlawful and invalid in the Sight of
Shariah Law and of Allah Subhanah.
But if the idolatrous women, of her own free will and with
her heart and soul, chooses to accept Islam as her way of life, it would be
lawful for the believer to seek her hand in marriage. But if the woman is not convinced enough to
leave her idolatrous religion, it would be unlawful and forbidden for a
believer who sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day to seek her hand in
marriage.
Your
Question: obiously there parents are not ready for this marriage but then also
they want to marry.Is it right for them?
Islam guides that the sacred bond of marriage is not just
a simple union between two individuals, but an union of two families; thus it
would only be righteousness and prudent to seek the parental consent of both
parties before two individuals decide to marry.
If the woman agrees to accept Islam as her way of life,
and even after their best efforts either party is not able to convince their
parents of their choice in marriage, it would be akin and closer to piety and
righteousness to sacrifice their choice and marry another whom both they and
their parents consent to.
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
