Marriage with a man of other faith

Question

1. Can a Muslim girl marry a boy of another cast, i.e. a hindu? 2. After marrying can she still offer namaz and fast?

Answer

We hope that this response reaches you in the best of health and Imaan. Ameen inshaAllah.

A Muslim woman cannot marry a man who belongs to another religion. She can only marry a Muslim man. If a Muslim woman marries a non-Muslim man, her marriage WILL NOT BE VALID and whatever relations she has with that man will amount to sinning. She can still offer her salaah and fasts, but again, any contact with that man will be a sin on her part.

And Allah knows best.
