My friend has just married a man who does not believe in any kind of God.
Question
Her husband agreed to pretend that he was a muslim so that they could have the nikkah, to keep her family happy. Is the nikkah valid? Is my friend still a muslim? What about her kids - what religion will they be?
Answer
It is not permissable for a muslim female to marry a non-muslim. If your friend discovered that her husband is not a muslim, her marriage is NULL and void. She cannot live with him.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
