The Ruling on a Formal Marriage for a Woman in the Lands of Disbelief to Escape with Her Faith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim woman in the lands of disbelief to enter into a formal, non-real marriage in order to be able to escape with her faith?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. She should escape with her faith and emigrate, even if she has no mahram (relative one may not marry). A woman emigrating is not required to have a mahram; she travels for the sake of emigration without a mahram to escape with her faith. Yes.
