Question
A Muslim man married a Hindu woman who has not accepted Islam. Should this man fast during Ramadhaan?
Answer
The Hindu woman is not his wife. The man lives in the state of zina (adultery) with her. Marriage to a Hindu woman is not valid. Nevertheless, he still has to fast. Only Allah Ta'ala knows whether it will be accepted or not.
