Legality And Validity Of Marriage Between Muslims And Non-Muslims
If yes, then the second part of my question follows from the third point. Why, then, is marrying a person who believes in more than one god, or an atheist, not allowed? According to my understanding, marrying a kafir or a mushrik is categorically haram. So when we do not know someone’s position regarding God to the extent that they can clearly be classified as a kafir or a mushrik, how can we legitimately call such a marriage haram? I agree that the principle of Tawhid is a determining factor in general, but the Qur’an seems to forbid marriage specifically with kuffar or mushrikin.
