Kool_Kat Posted April 24, 2003 Goodness, did you say a non-Muslim...Good luck telling your parents that... My advice to you is if you are in-love with her and want to marry her, make sure she converts...And if she doesn't, which probably she won't, there are a lot beautiful Somali young women out there for you... Good luck, and let us know... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haaruun Posted April 25, 2003 Humm, Just think about your children...do u want them 2b those who say "I'm half muslim half Gaalo" , what good is it if ur wife can't chit chat with your mom about diric, uunsi, guntiimo etc. Don't be quick about it bro, take ur time, talk to mom/dad and make a wise move after.

Mujahida Posted April 28, 2003 Salam WhiteSomali It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Christian or a Jewish woman without the need for the woman to convert to Islam at any time. Although this is permissible, it is not to be encouraged because interfaith marriages are likely to run into problems. Islam states very clearly that "no compulsion is admissible in matters of faith." How then, can anyone contemplate that a woman must be converted to Islam in order "ONLY" for her marriage to be legal? Brother WhiteSomali what you should do is is to make Islam known to her and to tell her that Islam is the final message from Allah to man, therefore, people are called upon to accept it. However She must retain her freedom whether to do so or to maintain her faith. If she decides to remain Christian or Jewish, the marriage can continue, with the husband being required to allow his wife to practice her religion. The children are, by necessity, Muslims, since the Islamic rule is that children follow the higher of their parents' religions. Since Islam is the highest of all religions, then they are Muslims and if you'll be a practising Muslim man then it'll all be much easier ofcourse. once again, no coercion or pressure should be exercised to make a Christian wife adopt Islam. If she adopts it, she must do so by her own free will. My last advise to you WhiteSomali is not to have an inter-faith marriage, unless you do not have a choice. To marry a Muslim woman is by far better than marrying any Christian or Jewish woman. Allah Hafiz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
