If a wicked man marries a chaste woman, is the marriage invalid?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The one who marries a wicked man to a chaste woman...
The Shaykh : Yes, it is known to be invalid.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : What do you say about this man? I say the marriage is invalid, so it has no effect and no consideration is given to it.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, it must be so. Do you want anything clearer than this? And in His saying there is an exhortation and encouragement to avoid this matter. But they directed me to the verse [An-Nur 24:3] and the fornicator is a Muslim, and it is not permissible for him to marry a polytheist woman, yes? What Allah willed, four, okay. No. Yes, indeed.
The questioner : A woman from the People of the Book.
The Shaykh : No, no, a woman from the People of the Book is not called a Muslim.[Al-Bayyinah 98:6] He made them two categories.
The questioner : Because he resembles her in the act, so fornication means the emblem of the polytheists.
The Shaykh : Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) directed this verse in a manner better than that of many scholars. He said: "If a fornicator marries a woman, the marriage is forbidden by the explicit text of the Qur'an. So if he marries her, either he is committed to the ruling of Allah in this matter but he was bold in the act, so he is a fornicator; or he is not pleased with this ruling and says, 'I see that it is permissible,' so he is a polytheist, because he has made permissible what Allah has forbidden, and making permissible what Allah has forbidden is shirk (associating partners with Allah) without doubt. And this is the meaning of the verse, which hardly admits of any other interpretation. Yes." After that, the third lesson.
The questioner : ... our Prophet Muhammad and his family and all his Companions. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Chapter on the Prohibitions in Marriage. It is forbidden forever: the mother, and every grandmother, however high up the line; the daughter, and the daughter of the son, and the daughters of both, whether from lawful or unlawful relations, however low down the line; and every sister, and her daughter, and her daughter's daughter; and the daughter of every brother, and her daughter, and the daughter of his son, and her daughter, however low down the line; and every aunt and maternal aunt, however high up the line; and the milk-sister through the milk-mother. And what is forbidden by breastfeeding is forbidden by blood relation, except the mother of one's sister and the sister of one's son. And it is forbidden by contract: the wife of one's father, and every grandfather, and the wife of one's son, however low down the line, excluding their daughters and their mothers."
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and his family, and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.

And it is forbidden to the believers
وحُرّم ذلك على المؤمنينto the believers
على المؤمنينThe fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or polytheist
الزاني لا ينكح إلا زانية أو مشركةThe questioner : A woman from the People of the Book.
The Shaykh : No, no, a woman from the People of the Book is not called a Muslim.
Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists
إن الذين كفروا من أهل الكتاب والمشركينThe questioner : Because he resembles her in the act, so fornication means the emblem of the polytheists.
