Is it permissible to marry a sikh or hindu who will embrace Islam (with heart) or convert only for purpose of marriage? Please reply giving references from quran/hadith.
Re: Marrying a Sikh/Hindu
If some one embraces islam, he becomes a muslim. There is no problem marrying muslim. As long as they are no from —u know---- same S
Re: Marrying a Sikh/Hindu
don't you think it's just a way of increasing the population of Muslims in this world.....If a Hindu/sikh girl does somehow fall in love bigtime with her Muslim friend, I think it's a horrible thing to make her give up her religion just so she could marry her love. She's completely changing who she is for him. Why doesn't anybody see how wrong that is??
It's best if Hindus and Sikhs marry people of their own religion or a person following Christianity who won't ask them to convert, instead of sacrificing a part of themselves like that.
Re: Marrying a Sikh/Hindu
^^ I agree....
muslims and christians worry a lot about their numbers so they go with convesrion game.
Re: Marrying a Sikh/Hindu

The poster did not mention anything about increasing population. He asked whether it's permissible or not. It has more to do with religion than increasing population.
@ Thread: If he/she embraces Islam, then nothing wrong in it since he/she is a muslim just like you/me/or anyone else.

I know he didn't mention anything about it but that's the whole point of conversion-- the number of Muslims(born or converted) will go up.
and like chintu said it is a numbers game, one Hindu/Sikh who has converted to Islam for the sake of marriage(one less Hindu/sikh) is one more Muslim in this world.
Re: Marrying a Sikh/Hindu
With all due respect, It has to do with religion. This is the first time I am hearing this explanation about marriage in Islam. If it was about converting, muslim could've just adopted kids of the world like crazy and "convert" them to Islam just to increase the population. This explanation does not carry any weight considering what Islam has to say about this. The whole point of conversion (for those who are aware of Islam on this) is to follow the commandment of Allah (s.w.t). Those who don't want to follow can do whatever they want. And those who want to change this after Islam is clear on it can make dozens of excuses and explain but the matter of fact that Islam does not allow it will remain.
Re: Marrying a Sikh/Hindu
^ok and that's why I said that it is best that Hindus/Sikhs marry only people of their religion and not Muslims because of all of these strict conversion rules.....Love is fleeting anyway
Re: Marrying a Sikh/Hindu
That is upto them. No one is putting sword on other person's neck but you cannot say that conversion in Islam is because of population increase because there are other ways to increase the population of this world (an example I mentioned above). And increasing the population will not guarantee that the kids will become pious muslims so there goes you're "muslim population increase" *theory :)*
Re: Marrying a Sikh/Hindu
Great questions and response. To the non Muslim members, in some ways we are (Muslim/Hindu/Sikh) because we were born to a particular set of parents, in a specific place. Once we grow older either our belief in the religion grows stronger or we become "cultural Muslims, hindus etc.
Now if a non-Muslim becomes a believer, then there is absolutely no harm in marriage. In many cases you will find that the Muslim guy is only culturally Muslim which means that he wants the girl to convert for societal/parental and not Islamic reasons. I have no respect for him.
If the girl truly converts (not due to the marriage) then there is no issue at all. From my perspective, marrying a crypto-hindu girl and saying that she has converted, is fooling yourself, because G-d sees all.

The magnifying glass is not over the girl it is over the boy. It is Islam that prevents him from marrying the girl.
Even before it prevents him from marrying the girl it prevents him from falling in love with her.
If after they have fallen in love and broken the rules of Islam in this matter then I agree it is odd that people want to hold on tight to the rules regarding marriage when the rules regarding zina (adultery) are a lot more important.
If on the other hand the Muslim that this girl has fallen in love with through no fault of the boy i.e. he has been a good person and maintained his Islamic virtue and chastity then she has fallen in love with his identity which includes it's Islamic flavour. If she can love him if he behaves as a Muslim then why can't she love the idea of being Muslim?
It is not harsh it is inevitable:
If a girl falls in love with a non-religious Muslim boy then he is not likely to be guarding his chastity to enforce a person to change their religion for marriage according to Islam is wrong.
The scenario you have presented is a romantic one, people find ways to adapt bend rules and regs, that is their choice. Islam cannot be criticised for this, it doesn't allow the premise of your argument to exist let alone the conclusion!

Re: Marrying a Sikh/Hindu
brother
well if they are telling ya that they are muslims so who are you to judge their imam then.
therefore, if they embrace Islam for watever reason, even calling them hindu or sikh is gunnah i think.
