Faith IQ – Can I Marry A Non-Muslim Man

Ustadha Yasmin Mogahed explains.

Marriage is half of every person’s Deen. Our Prophet (PBUH) encouraged everyone to get married when he/she is able to.
Nowadays, there some sister who find it difficult to find a Muslim man to marry. Yet, there are several non-Muslim men who are ready to marry these sisters.
Why is it not permissible to marry a non-Muslim man? Why is the reason behind this?
