Question

Can a practising Muslim woman marry a practising Christian man? If they have children, the childrens upbringing or religion will not be compromised in any way. They will lead a strict muslim way of life.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry any non-Muslim man even though he may be a practicing Christian.

And Allah knows best
