Question

Some scholars say that it is permissible for a Muslim to marry a non-Muslim woman even if she retains her religion. Is this correct?

Answer

These 'scholars' are in grievous error. They pave of the destruction of Imaan for the man and the children of such a hybrid union. It is not permissible for a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim woman if she refuses to embrace Islam.
