Is it permissible for a Muslim to marry a Jewish or Christian woman?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... marry a Christian woman?

The Shaykh : We will take a lesson. It is permissible for a Muslim to marry a Jewish or Christian woman, on the condition that he does not fear fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in his religion. If he fears fitnah in his religion, it is forbidden for him, not because she is not lawful for him, but in order to ward off harm.
The reader: May Allah reward you and reward you with the best reward.
