Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: There is a book published in the bookstores titled "The Islam of One of the Spouses" by a man residing in Britain. The book states that it is permissible for a Muslim woman to remain with her former husband even if he is a disbeliever. What is your honorable opinion on this?
Answer:
This is a false statement, so[Al-Mumtahanah 60:10] sh says with this verse, this is either that he is ignorant or that he is misguided. And in Surat al-Baqarah it says: "Do not marry polytheist women" [Al-Baqarah 2:221] What does the Qur'an say? This is either that he is ignorant or that he is misguided, contradicting the Qur'an. Yes, among those who issued a ruling that it is permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a disbeliever, among those who issued this ruling, but he is not from the people of knowledge; rather, he is from the men of thought, as they call them, from the men of thought and thinkers, and not from the people of knowledge or the people of jurisprudence. Yes.

Answer:
This is a false statement, so
do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful [husbands] for them
تَرْجِعُوهُنَّ إِلَى الْكُفَّارِ لَا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّAnd do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe.
وَلَا تُنكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنُوا
