The circumstances in which the marriage contract is invalidated

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The matter, O Shaykh, that you see as a barrier; because it prevents the contract from being established between the two parties.

Answer:
As mentioned previously.

The presenter : What is it?

The Shaykh: Difference in religion.

The presenter: Difference in religion, is this the most important thing?

The Shaykh: If the religion differs, the marriage is invalid, except in one issue, which is the marriage of a Muslim to a chaste woman from the People of the Book. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. And what about a difference in religion, such as leaving off the prayer, for example?

The Shaykh: Yes, leaving off the prayer necessitates disbelief, so the religion is different. As for sin, it does not invalidate the marriage, as long as he is a Muslim and she is a Muslim. Yes.

The presenter: Yes, and anything else, if you would be so kind?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The presenter: Anything else, is there anything else?

The Shaykh: There is nothing but this, there is nothing but this. Sins do not invalidate the marriage; rather, disbelief invalidates it. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
