Eid Abbasi : If that happens, or if we are consulted about such a matter, we do not agree with it, because, as I said, there is a fear.
The questioner : Is it a sign of good?
Eid Abbasi : It is a sign of good, but according to this expenditure and according to your study of this man. If he is, for example, a man who is said to be doctrinal, and he holds a disbelieving creed and calls to it, and she is weaker than he is in creed and strength, then in such a case, it is not advisable to marry him. It is necessary to study each case on its own. Here, in a Muslim community, when the situation is like this, it will help him toward good and toward faith becoming established in him. This is undoubtedly the best.
The questioner : A dhimmi woman marries a Muslim?
Eid Abbasi : Yes. In any case, we state the ruling and clarify its degree, but on the condition that you study the matter and be on clear evidence. If she is confident, or she estimates that she will win him over and that faith will move to his heart, then there is nothing wrong with it. But if she is weaker than he is, or she fears for herself that he will drag her into disbelief, and there is no support or help, neither from the environment nor from the family, then the rule applies in this case: “Averting harm takes precedence over seeking benefit.”
The questioner : ... .
Eid Abbasi : Yes. Abu Talhah did not stay long before he recognized Islam and became acquainted with its Shari'ah. His Islam became good, and he held fast to it seeking the Face of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). From this perspective as well, from the perspective of Shari'ah policy, as we said, giving the money of zakah to those whose hearts are to be reconciled, hoping for their Islam, is part of the wisdom of this religion and its sound policy.
