Question
A non-Musim male embraced Islam to get married with a Muslim woman. This was his sole intention. Is his Islam valid?
Answer
The intention for embracing Islam must be for Allah Alone. The person should rectify his intention. If he does not genuinely believe in the truth of Islam, then his verbal profession of the Kalimah will not be valid between him and Allah Ta'ala despite it being technically valid for him to be classified a Muslim in the dunya.
