Is it permissible to marry women of the Book in this age?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Here a young man is asking about the ruling on a Muslim marrying a Christian woman now?

The Shaykh : We marry Muslim women, and we are pure, may Allah guide us.

The questioner : So it is not permissible?

The Shaykh : It is not permissible today, because when our Lord made it permissible, He said:
chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you والمحصنات من الذين أوتوا الكتاب من قبلكم
[Al-Ma'idah 5:5]


The questioner : May Allah honor you.
