Question
A Muslim man married a Christian woman. A valid Nikah was performed. However, she had not embraced Islam. Now some time after the Nikah, she embraces Islam. Should another Nikah be performed?
Answer
If the woman was a Christian, not an atheist, then the original Nikah remains valid. Nevertheless, it is preferable to renew the Nikah.
