In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

Dear Sister,

I pray this message reaches you in good health and sound iman.

Thank you for your question.

To answer your first query:

A marriage between a Muslim woman and non-Muslim man is invalid. The relationship is viewed as fornication. For the marriage to be valid, the man would have to state the Shahada (the Islamic testification of faith), after which they would have a new ceremony.

To answer your second question:

The sister in question is still considered a Muslim, albeit a sinful Muslim. She should be encouraged to repent from this relationship. The person she is with should be encouraged to study Islam. I have heard of cases where Muslim women married non-Muslim men and were essentially thrown out of the Muslim community. My fear is that when this happens, the sister becomes even further alienated from herself and her Lord. If you are friends with this sister, please give her good advice and beg her to think about her standing with her Lord.

And Allah knows best.
