Who can Muslims marry?

Question

I mean like fellow muslims, or what?

Answer 1

anyone as long as the big wigs dont find out.then oops off with head.one consolation no more aspirins

Answer 2

Muslim men may marry "believers of the book," meaning Muslims, Christians and Jews.

Muslim women may marry only Muslim men.

This may seem unbalanced, but it is meant to protect the woman from abuse at the ends of a non-Muslim man. I say it's irrelevant in 2007.

(Another reason, of course, is that Islam is passed by the father - therefore the child of a Muslim woman and non-Muslim man is not automatically Muslim, although he could be raised Muslim, and so long as he says the shahaada, would be)

Answer 3

There are many interpretations and for that reason you have the people of the religion professing their own opinions about right and wrong. Believe me, many wrongs do not make a right.

It is surely an ideal situation if a man and a woman of a similar faith get married. However, if both follow different faiths then some form of compromise must be made and a firm , amicable understanding reached.

I do believe that no religion should compel any of its followers to do anything but good.

It would be such a beautiful world !!!

Answer 4

Present condition is!To marry a Muslims one have to be a Muslim, unless one is believer of the old testament.I doubt very much there is one in this century who follows the old testament.

Answer 5

A Muslim man cann marry any woman who have a book (Christian or jewsh) It is not preferred that he marries any woman that is religiousless...

Muslim woman must marry a Muslim man, this condition converted many people to Islam, and was one of the reasons to spread it by Love.

Answer 6

wMuslim men can marry Jewish, Christian or Muslim women. If they marry a Christian or Jewish woman, that woman is NOT required to convert. I know, because I am married to a Muslim man. I am asked to respect his religion, but I am under NO PRESSURE to convert, now or ever.

Muslim women are expected only to marry Muslim men. If they marry outside their faith, that marriage is not considered valid in Islam. A Muslim woman can marry a non-Muslim man ONLY if he converts to Islam before they marry.

Answer 7

Muslims men can marry only christian or Jews women....not anyone
and the Muslims women can marry only Muslim man ....cos we believe the children will have the religion of their father...so the woman can't marry unmuslim man.

Answer 9

Muslim men can only marry Jews,Christians and Muslimah.

Muslimah can only marry a Muslim.

But scholars today agree that Muslim men CANNOT marry any non-Muslim women.WHY?

Because Muslim men are only allowed to marry Jews,Christians during one period during the time of Prophet Muhammad where Allah has not yet forbade Muslim to marry non-Muslim.

Answer 10

Can Marry anyone except the blood relation... but he/she should be Muslim

Answer 11

Men can marry whomever - muslims or non-muslims. But they must try and convert the woman.

Female muslims are forbidden in Islam to marry non-muslim men. If any female muslims DO marry a non-muslim, they are explicitly going against their religion (and could suffer death- leaving islam is punishable by death according to the Qur'an and hadith)
