Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks about the ruling on a Muslim woman marrying a non-Muslim, as they reside in a country near Europe?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim under any circumstances. It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a disbeliever or a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah),[Al-Mumtahanah 60:10] for them, [Al-Baqarah 2:221], nor [Al-Baqarah 2:221].
Therefore, a Muslim woman does not marry a disbeliever, whether he is from the People of the Book or not. As for the reverse, which is that a Muslim man marries a woman from the People of the Book, this is permissible. This is permissible by the explicit text of the Qur'an, because the woman is under the authority of the man. She may become a Muslim while she is under the authority of the man, unlike the man if he is the husband of a Muslim woman and he is a disbeliever; she is then under the authority of a disbeliever, may Allah protect us from that, and he will take her out of her religion. Yes.

then do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful
فَلَا تَرْجِعُوهُنَّ إِلَى الْكُفَّارِ لَا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحِلُّونَAnd do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe.
وَلَا تُنكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنُواAnd a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you.
وَلَعَبْدٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن مُّشْرِكٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكُمْTherefore, a Muslim woman does not marry a disbeliever, whether he is from the People of the Book or not.
