Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are alot of emotions involved and my wife is requesting that our family to attend the wedding of her sister who is marrying a non-muslim. She was told numerous times that what she is doing is impermissible in the eyes of Allah and will not be accepted but she still is going forth with it. Islamically speaking, what should I do here? Should we attend the wedding because our intentions are sincere or not? What is the direction I should take Islamically?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

In the name of <\/strong><\/u>All<\/strong><\/u><\/em>\u0101<\/strong><\/u><\/em>h<\/strong><\/u><\/em>, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marriage is not a matter to be taken lightly. It is a lifelong commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Messenger of All\u0101h <\/em>\ufdfa explained that the primary consideration in choosing a spouse should be their Deen<\/em>: \u201cA woman is married for four reasons; her wealth, lineage, status and Deen<\/em>. Choose the one who is religious.\u201d [Sahih Al-Bukhari: Hadith 5090<\/em>]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This also applies to women, in that a man is married for four reasons and she too should choose the one who is religiously inclined.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDeen<\/em>\u201d is a very comprehensive word. It does not only mean praying and fasting. Rather, it relates to one\u2019s entire conduct of life such as Aqidah <\/em>(Belief), Ib\u0101d\u0101t <\/em>(Worship), Akhl\u0101q <\/em>(Character & Manners), Mu\u2019amal\u0101t <\/em>(Dealings with others), Sulook <\/em>(Reliance on All\u0101h <\/em>in all affairs), <\/em>etc.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, the first and foremost attribute to be considered in a potential spouse is their religious beliefs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101<\/em> has decreed:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo not marry the polytheist women, unless they come to believe (in Isl<\/em>\u0101<\/em>m<\/em>); a Muslim<\/em> slave girl is better than a polytheist woman, even though she may attract you; and do not give (your women) in marriage to polytheist men, unless they come to believe; a Muslim<\/em> slave is better than a polytheist, even though he may attract you. They invite to the Fire when All\u0101h <\/em>invites, by His will, to Paradise, and to forgiveness. He makes His verses clear to the people, so that they may heed the advice.\u201d [Surah al-Baqarah; 2:221<\/em>] [2]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cVile women are for vile men, and vile men are for vile women; and good women are for good men, and good men are for good women. Those (good people) are declared innocent from what the slanderers say. For them there is forgiveness, and a graceful provision.\u201d [Surah an-N\u00fbr; 24:26<\/em>] [3]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101 <\/em>also commands: \u201cDo not aid in sin.\u201d [Sur\u0101h M\u0101\u2019idah; 5:2<\/em>] [4]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This marriage, of a Muslim<\/em> woman to a man of any other religion is deemed as Har<\/em>\u0101m<\/em> and strictly forbidden. To participate in such unions would be considered as aiding in the sin and granting tacit approval which is also forbidden.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You must advise her of the grave sin that she is about to embark on. If she is adamant on marrying him, then give him Da\u2019wah<\/em> (invite) to Isl\u0101m<\/em>. If he embraces Isl\u0101m<\/em> then they can marry otherwise they must refrain.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If they still insist on marrying, no Muslim<\/em> should partake in this act of clear disobedience and sin.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101 <\/em>knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
