Question
The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
Is it permissible to propose a girl who is not a muslim (free-thinker) with the hope that she will accept islam.
Answer
If the girl is not a Ahlul-Kitaab (Christian or Jew), then it is not permissible to marry her. If she is a Christian or Jew, then it is permissible to marry her on condition he is firm on his faith of Islam. If he is weak and there is a fear of him losing his faith, then it is prohibited for him to marry a non-Muslim Christian or Jewish woman.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
