Sheik
Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi's Conditions for Muslim Men Who Want to Marry Christian and
Jewish Women in the West
Following are excerpts
from a lesson given by Sheik Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, which aired on Qatar
TV, on March 12, 2006.
Sheik Yousef
Al-Qaradhawi: A
Muslim in Europe or America can marry a Christian woman or a woman from among
the People of the Book, under four conditions:
The first condition is that
she is, in fact, of the People of the Book. In other words, she must not be a
heretic - for example, a communist or a Bahai. She must be a believing woman
from among the People of the Book.
Some people say a woman is
Christian because her father is Christian, while she does not believe in any
religion whatsoever. She doesn't believe in God, in the prophet, in Judgment
Day, in any values, or in worshipping God. Such a woman is not Christian, even
if she is regarded as Christian. We have to make sure that she's really of the
People of the Book.
The second condition is
that she must be chaste, in other words, honorable and pure - not a woman who
sells her body to any man.
[...]
Is there a single
honorable, chaste woman left in these countries? Don't they reprimand a girl
who is still a virgin at the age of 14? They say: How can this be? She becomes
undesirable. Where are her boyfriends?
[...]
The third condition is that
she must not belong to those who are hostile to Islam. That is why I say a
Muslim is not allowed to marry a Jewish woman from Israel, or from among the
Jews who support Israel.
[...]
Therefore, [one must not]
marry a Jewish woman, unless she belongs to the Jews who are hostile to Israel.
In London, I have seen Jews
who say Israel will annihilate the Jews. They believe that [Israel] runs
counter to God's desire to disperse the Jews, as punishment for their sins.
With the exception of
these, a Muslim is not allowed, these days, to marry a Jewish woman, because he
would be marrying a spy. He would be bringing a spy into his home.
The fourth condition is
that this marriage would not cause harm to him, to his children, or to Muslim
men and women. Sometimes, he is personally harmed, because she influences him.
If one is weak in his faith, he might agree to have alcohol in his home, to
have pork eaten there, to have moral depravity there, and then he might be
affected without realizing it. This is dangerous for him.
Sometimes it is his
children who are at risk. His children receive a non-Islamic upbringing, especially
if he is preoccupied with his work or studies, and returns home only at the end
of the day, and the wife does what she wants with the children. In this case,
the children are lost, their faith is lost. They are not brought up as Muslims.
This is dangerous.
Islam permits marrying a
woman from the People of the Book, or a Christian, so that she will enter the
Muslim family and society.
There is also a danger to
Muslim women. Some religious authorities in Muslim communities have
forbidden Muslims to marry out of the Muslim community. Why? If a Muslim
marries a non-Muslim woman, and since a Muslim woman is only allowed to marry a
Muslim man - who will she marry? If all the men go off and find themselves
Western blondes to marry, our own daughters - Fatma, 'Aisha, and so and so -
will find no one to marry.
