Interfaith marriage in Islam

An icon from the 18th century depicting the signing of the treaty between Muhammad and Saint Catherine's Monastery that, among other terms, enabled Muslim men to marry Christian women, as discussed in the Ashtiname of Muhammad.[1]

In Islam, the permissibility for Muslims to engage in interfaith marriages is outlined by the Quran: it is permissible, albeit discouraged, for a Muslim man to marry Non-Muslim women as long as they are identified as being part of the "People of the Book" (Christians, Jews, and Sabians) and it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a Non-Muslim man.[2] Thus, traditional interpretations of Islamic law do recognize the legitimacy of a Muslim man's marriage (nikaah) if he marries a Non-Muslim woman, but only if she is Jewish or Christian.[3] On the other hand, a Muslim woman may not marry a Non-Muslim man.[3][4] Additionally, it is required in Islam that the children of an interfaith marriage be Muslim.[5][6]

In some societies outside of Muslim-controlled territory, interfaith marriages between Muslims and Non-Muslims are not uncommon, including marriages that, in Sunni Islam, contradict the historic understanding of ijmāʿ (the consensus of fuqāha) as to the bounds of legitimacy.[7] The tradition of reformist and progressive Islam, for example, permits marriages between Muslim women and Non-Muslim men;[8] Islamic scholars opining this view include Guyanese-American professor Khaleel Mohammed, American activist Daayiee Abdullah, and Sudanese politician Hassan al-Turabi, among others.[9]

For example, Surah 3, verse 199, carries a universal message of goodwill and hope to all those who believe, the people of the Book irrespective of their religious label--Christian, Jew or Muslim. Muslims can marry with the people of the Book,
