Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The second question: A brother here asks, saying: Is it permissible in the Shari'ah for a Muslim to marry a non-Muslim woman in a European country in an administrative marriage only, without consummating it, so that he can obtain residency papers in that country, not to stay there, but to enable him to travel to many Islamic countries to facilitate their movement, and this marriage is conducted for a monetary fee, meaning?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible, it is not permissible; neither in reality nor in form.
The questioner : Yes, he says: only to facilitate his travel.
The Shaykh : Leave it and the justification, especially since you have already presented it previously. If you have a third question, bring it; otherwise, I will say: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : No, I have a question, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Then, be brief in your speech.
