00:00:00 --> 00:00:10
			This question is from Abdul Karim from New York USA. Is it permissible for a Muslim man to marry a
Christian woman?
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:19
			If yes, are there any conditions? Can he marry her even if she believed Jesus Peace Be open to be
God?
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:54
			This is a very important question as my brother Abdul Karim from New York, USA, that is it
permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Christian girl or a girl from the early Kitab? Are there any
conditions can he marry her if she believes is with God? As far as a Muslim man marrying a Christian
girl is concerned, Allah clearly mentioned in the Glorious Quran in surah majda chapter number five
was number five, that lawful for you are those things that are good NPR, lawful for you,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:45
			the foot of the alligator, and lawful for you in marriage. The chaste believing woman, the Masai,
not the chaste believing woman, and the chaste woman among the alligator. So based on this verse of
the Quran, the Quran is very clear cut. And it says that a Muslim man can marry a chaste woman from
the helicopter. There are some people who say, okay, the LA Kitab, at the time of the Prophet, they
did not believe that Jesus was what cetera these people who say this, they are wrong. They don't
know the Quran clearly mentions that the LA Kitab, the Christian used to cough from either chapter
five, verse number 72, that they believe that Jesus is God, that it goes by saying they believed in
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			Trinity, and for him either chapter five was 73, and a compute later on.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:18
			But the majority of the scholars, all of them, they say that it is permissible to marry as long as
she is chased. There's a criteria there the condition put on that witch woman from the LA Kitab Can
you marry and the Quran in surah Maya chapter number five was number five is very explicit says that
you can marry the chaste woman from the moment from the believers.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			More so not from the moment
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			and mostly not from the alligator.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:32
			The condition is that she should be chased. Now based on this condition,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:45
			the least you can expect a chaste woman to be least there are various conditions for being chased
for being more center. The minimum, the minimum condition, the lowest is that she should be a
virgin.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:57
			And today, we find since the question is asked from USA, from New York. Today, we know according to
the statistics
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:39
			that we have of the Western countries, they say that the girls in the school 90% lose their
virginity. Other sites we say that the girl by the time she passes college university 95% lose their
virginity Some say 90% even if you know the statistics of Europe, of UK, most of this territory
almost all they say that by the time a woman passes her University, some say 95% lose their
virginity Some say 96 Some say 97 but all of them agree it is more than 95%.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:47
			So one of the minimum criteria for more senad for being chased is that you should be virgin.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:04:21
			There are many other criteria. So based on this, hardly you will find any woman especially in the
western country, who will be changed. And I was born in Bombay, I live my life in Bombay passman
Medical College in Mumbai. And I remember that after I passed my medical college in the early part
of the 21st century, in the year 2000 to 2001. There was an AIDS conference in Bombay. And according
to the statistics in that conference,
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:42
			we were told that in Bombay, on an average 70% of the girls lose their virginity before the past and
attend and was shocking to me, Bombay, India is much more conservative than America than the western
country. And that is talking about 20 years back.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:59
			So today what we come to know that in the 21st century, it is very difficult for a woman to remain
chaste, especially in the Western countries. And now it's also coming to the eastern countries.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:05
			And the scholars, most of them they discourage,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			though it's permissible,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:15
			but they said they should be changed. So where will you find the chaste woman from the LA Gita, a
chaste Christian woman.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			And
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:24
			even if you marry, the problem that we see after that is phenomenon.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:30
			There are high chances that after a Muslim man marries
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:38
			a Christian girl, or a Jewish girl, there are high chances that the marriage will not be successful.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:06:15
			And we'll find that the way of dressing differs, the way of eating differs, the way of behavior
differs. And imagine the cleanliness is not there. Imagine the Christian woman during menstruation,
she may not inform the husband. And we know it's haram to have * during the cycle, whether
Will she be able to clean itself very well, the eating habits are different. And in western world,
it is quite common that many of the Muslim men, they marry Christian woman.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			And
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:43
			these men actually are not very practicing Muslims. So what we find them doing that after they
marry, when they go to the grocery, they are buying alcohol for the wife, they are buying for for
the wife, they may not drink themselves, but they are buying it for the wife. Many of them, maybe
they were drinking before marriage, many of them not drinking, start drinking alcohol after
marriage. All these things are common.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:07:03
			And we find that many times if the marriage doesn't work, it ends in a divorce. And when the divorce
and if you have children, then your mama and your Abdullah and your Abdurrahman and your Fatima and
your hatha, they're going to church.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:19
			So, I personally, I'll give my view later on the additional criteria. Most of the scholars, they do
not encourage a Muslim man to marry a woman from the alligator. It's permissible.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:42
			But the criteria should be most And where will you find a Muslim and even find a motion? There are
yet problems. So person who is a religious Muslim, will never went into this. And most of the cases
that you have when a Muslim man is married a Christian girl 99.9 cases I love marriages.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:08:07
			The moment you have girlfriend and boyfriend it means that you're not chased. So what do you do? You
go out with a girl, go for a movie, God fighting God financing when she chased. Leave aside
virginity even going out for dancing with the nightmare, we want to see a movie it is against the
value of Chase is not a must.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:15
			So if you apply the strict criteria of a Christian woman with more than hardly we'll be able to find
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:26
			and practical practically to follow this advice today in this 21st century is very difficult. And we
know the problem that can happen
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			after marriage.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:34
			According to the call of Edna pass mela,
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:51
			he says that a Muslim man can only marry an LA Kitab woman in an Islamic State. He cannot marry a
Christian woman or a Jewish woman if it is in a foreign country.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:09:38
			And there are a group of scholars who agree with this view of Dr. Bosman lab up the team. And I
mean, I agree with you, because if you marry a Christian girl in a non Muslim country, and if
anything happens, they will follow their law. They will not follow the Islamic law. If they're the
divorce then your children as I mentioned, Muhammad, Sultan Abdullah Khadija Fatma we go to church,
so but natural, it is not encouraged at all. So I agree with the view of ignorant but my library
visit him that this is only permissible to marry a Christian woman. Number one should be chaste. And
number two in an Islamic State.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:54
			Besides agreeing with the view of him near Basma, visit him I personally have another condition
based on my studies of the Quran. I don't claim to be a scholar, I'm Australian of knowledge, and
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			my speciality Islam and comparative religion. So I have my
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			additional criteria based on different
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			than my criteria, it's my study of the Quran.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:35
			As I mentioned earlier, in the starting of Mansa, Allah is very clear cut. And so reminder chapter
number five, verse number five, lawful for you are all things that are good NPO lawful for you at
the foot of the La keytab of the People of the Book. And there was continuous lawful for you in
marriage, besides the chaste woman who are believers, ah, the chaste woman from the LA kita
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:53
			this was the day but the weather wasn't the Glorious Quran in surah baqarah chapter number two was
number 221. We save that do not marry an unbelieving woman do not marry a Muslim
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			and idolatrous
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			a woman who does ship unless she believes
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:29
			a believing woman, who is a slave woman is much better than the unbelieving woman, then a mushy cat
even if she follows him. That means the Quran is very direct, but in Surah Baqarah chapter number
two was number 221. That a Muslim can only marry a moment, a Muslim cannot marry a Muslim cannot
marry a non Muslim unless she becomes a Muslim. A Muslim woman with a slave woman, a bond woman is
much better than
		
00:11:30 --> 00:12:04
			an unbelieving woman, even if she allows you. She may be the richest woman in the world. She may be
the most beautiful woman in the world. She may be very attractive, but a believing woman who is a
slave woman who's a bond woman is much better for a Muslim man than an unbelieving woman, a non
Muslim woman it's very click up emotionally. That means you cannot marry a Hindu. But the exception
in the Quran in surah Maya chapter number five was number five that you can marry a chaste woman
from the
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:20
			Quran is very explicit in Surah majda chapter number five was number 72 by faith that laka kufra
Xena tala in Allah, who will masoumeh Rima they are doing
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:41
			they are blaspheming those who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary. That means Quran is very
clear cut in Surah. Maya chapter number five was number 72. That the Christians they say that Allah
is Christ, the son of Mary, and there was continuous
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:47
			Latika for Latina calm in the love almost everybody
		
00:12:49 --> 00:13:07
			they bless him those who say that Allah if Jesus Christ the son of Mary wacol mercy, but set Christ
yapanese right origin of Israel would Allah worship Allah Robbie what was my Lord and your Lord?
enormous Shrek Billa anyone who associates partner with Allah,
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:51
			Allah Allah Jana, Allah will make dinner haram for him mamajuana Romani, Solomon Miriam sir, and
five shall be dwelling place and he shall have no help us in the hereafter. Your Allah subhanaw
taala in the Quran is very clear cut, and he says that they are doing their blaspheming those who
say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary, but sir Christ you have any thrive or children of his life
with Allah worship Allah, Rob be with my Lord and your Lord. In no way Shrek Billa anyone who
associates partners with Allah for Allah do Jana Allah will make general haram for a mamajuana Omar
is all women and SAR and five shall be dwelling place and he shall have no helpers in the hereafter.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:14:21
			So this was the message of Jesus Christ peace be upon him which is can read the gorgeous Quran. But
I'll also say that deef Christian they say that Allah Jesus the son of Mary nostril, Allah further
faith in Surah majda chapter number five was some 73 Latika fillers in a column in the LA policia
Salah they are doing their blasphemy, those who say that Allah is three in one alleged Trinity. So
here the Quran says that Christians are the Gulf
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:27
			by saying Jesus Gatsby upon Almighty God, they believe in Trinity
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:34
			Surah Baqarah chapter two was number 221 says you cannot marry someone who does self.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:47
			So the mother chapter five was number five says you can marry chaste woman from the helicopter. So
all these verses put together, they seem to be an apparent contradiction.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			If Allah is very clever than the Quran, that de la Kitab de Lucia
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:58
			and the Quran says, a moment cannot marry a moussaka
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:11
			So how come sorry my dad said that you can marry lick it up they seem to be a contradiction. And
Allah is very clear cut in the Quran in Surah Nisa chapter number four was the maid
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:30
			of Allah is the Bruno Quran, well, kinda meaning they get in love with you the fifth elephant
casita? Do they not consider the Quran with K? Do they not ponder what the Quran with K hadn't been
for anyone besides Allah there have been many contradictions, so they cannot be contradiction. So,
Allah
		
00:15:31 --> 00:16:09
			since I'm in the field of comparative religion, there is one verse of the Quran which gives a reply
to this question. Allah says in the Quran in surah alleman chapter number three was 110, which is a
very famous verse, Allah says, confirm Cara omotenashi javelinas only Muslims, he had the best of
people's evolved for mankind that was thrown a bill maher off you've gotten Hunan Mancha, Davina
Nabila, because we enjoy what is good and refurbished what is wrong and believe in Allah. So this
was the Quran is a very important was saying that the Muslim Ummah, is the best of the people
evolved for mankind.
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:30
			And the reason is because we enjoy what is good and refurbished. What is wrong and we believe in
Allah is a very famous verse, but this is not the complete was this half the verse? The verse
continues? Well, I'm an arrow to tab, laconic Hello, minimal mon mininova sobre farcical, it would
have been better for them. If
		
00:16:31 --> 00:17:16
			the LA Kitab had faith, it would have been better for them if the LA Kitab had faith had belief.
Minh Hummel more manana wassermann foster Kuhn. Among them. There are some who are believers, but
the majority are perverted transgressive. See here in Surah. In branch chapter three was some 110.
Allah says that among the LA Kitab, there are some who are moving, but the majority of poder
transgressors. So the one criteria, which all the scholars agree is that the woman from LA Kitab
should be mostly not. And there's no doubt about it. If the above may Allah be pleased with him puts
another criteria that the marriage should only be done in a Muslim state, otherwise not valid. I
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:29
			see. According to survey Moran, chapter number three was 110. Among the La kitamura, some more
moment. That means the believers that means they don't believe that Jesus is God. They don't believe
in Trinity.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:18:12
			So you can only marry the Messiah, not la kita, the chest la kita woman, it will not contradict
against the verse of the Quran of Surah Baqarah chapter two verse two Mattoon read me. And so
according to me, in my humble study, I don't claim to be a scholar, the additional criteria besides
the woman being chaste, and besides it being in an Islamic State, the third criteria is she should
be a moment. That means she should not believe that gsf God, she should not believe in Trinity. And
at the time of the Prophet, there was such people. The example is welcome in Norfolk, was a cousin
of other Felicia mela up
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:48
			and he was a moment he was a Christian, but he was a moment that video when you find that there are
very few sahabas it's permissible. I'm not saying in Fareham, but there are criteria that elega
boomin The Krishna Jewish woman should be more center should be cherished should be an Islamic State
and should be moment she should not do that very there are very few Saba thing for the formula BP
the same fella have nobody to love and love BP, the very few Saba who had
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:32
			vibes from the helicopter. But my advice to the Muslims, especially in the Western countries, is
that don't take undue advantage of this verse and think that it's fine. This verse is very explicit
that she should be a Mohsen, the chaste woman to get chased for men is extremely difficult. And if
you apply the condition of Abner bus, that it should be a Muslim state, but naturally, the question
is from Yaki from Western country. I would totally disagree that a Muslim man should marry a woman
from the LA Kitab especially in the western country. Even if an Islamic country she should be a
Muslim. And she should be a believer, she should be a moment. And
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:47
			what we find that most of these marriages are love marriages. How can she be most? Okay if you find
a woman who was a Christian woman who accepted Islam, because she liked Islam law, probably
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:59
			someone who accepts Islam and she's a revert, and then you marry no problem. But you get into love
with her. You go to college together or you go to university
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:10
			together or you're working together and then you fall in love and then you say that Islam allows and
then you may go towards Ivy and maybe say the Shahada for namesake this lowly plastic surgery.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:54
			There are high chances that a children, your Muhammad, Abdullah, a father, Maya didn't go to church.
I totally disagree. And these type Muslims are not practicing Muslims. A practicing Muslim actually
would not fall in love with tradition good. So but natural because your deen is weak. And then you
take any excuse from the verse of the Quran and Mary, I'm not making permissible Hara. I'm saying
there are conditions and it's very difficult, very, very difficult to find such thing. So my advice
to the Muslim young men and young boys is that please don't use this verse of the Quran as an excuse
to marry the Christian woman. There are various conditions it's almost very difficult to fulfill
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:14
			these conditions and doing in a non Muslim country also is not permitted under many scholars and I
agree with that. And these are only infatuations are living in a western country. You go to work you
go to school. So these things we should be away from.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:39
			If you really find a reward girl who's accepted Islam not because you've fallen in love, and she
following the principles of Islam and she's praying five times a day and is a good modest woman,
then there's no problem but please don't get involved in love and then you say the louder Islam.
Please stay away from it. It will be not only bad for you but for the generations to come of
themselves.
