Question
A Hindu gentleman recited the kalema in front of two Muslims saying, "I have converted to Islam voluntarily and consciously." Then he took an Islamic name. The man later proposed marriage to a Muslim widow in front of the two witnesses, mentioning the seal, and the girl accepted. Due to social and family reasons, the matter was not reported to anyone except a few relatives of the girl. Note that the neo-Muslim provides for his wife as usual and maintains satisfactory contact with her. Now the question is, in the mentioned process, whether the conversion of the man to Islam and marriage to a Muslim woman have been legal? If not, what is the way to do it? 9731232429
Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
A. The condition for a person to convert to Islam is to believe in the meaning and significance of Kalima, to recite Kalima orally, and to believe in the things mentioned in Iman Mujmal and Iman Mufassal. It is not necessary for someone to be a true Muslim by swearing in front of people or witnessing someone. However, in order for the Islamic law to be imposed on him in the world, it is necessary for Muslims to bear witness. In the surah mentioned in the question, since he recited Kalima in front of two Muslims with the aim of converting to Islam, his conversion to Islam was correct. Now he will be considered a Muslim. For him, since the conversion to Islam, it has become obligatory to know and accept the essentials of Islam. B. Since the person has openly converted to Islam, it will be lawful for him to marry any Muslim woman while maintaining all the conditions of marriage. Therefore, the marriage in question has also been purified. It should be noted that the purpose of accepting Islam is to be worthy of liberation in the Hereafter by leading this worldly life according to the ideals of Allah and His Messenger. Therefore, in addition to having regular housework with Muslim women, it is important to pay attention to the observance of other rules and regulations of the Shari'ah. It should not be the case that Islam has been adopted only to marry a Muslim woman. If it were not for Allah, this Islam would be of no use in the Hereafter. 9164448725
