Marrige with Non-Muslim (idol worshipper).
Question
I did court marriage with a non-muslim girl as she didnt believe in idol worship and later did nikaah with her after she accepted islam. Now due to some reasons she started idol worship, can i continue with her?
Answer
Idol worship is Shirk (ascribing partners with Allah Ta'ala). The person in question has lost her Imaan upon committing Shirk and is no longer a Muslim. The Nikaah has automatically terminated forthwith. You are no longer husband and wife and cannot live together.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.

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.
