Answer
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'One person getting guidance through you is better than red camels (being expensive and a luxury of that time).'
In view of the above, if the Christian female gets Hidaayat through you, it is highly commendable. However, marriage has major implications. It is not just being a means of guidance. It is two people staying together and sharing almost everything of theirs. Such a close relationship require compatibility and understanding. While there are many men who married Christian women have successfully introduced them to Islam and live a comfortable life, there are also many who experience major marital life problems due to non-compatibility. In the beginning, their intentions may have been noble but with continuous disputes, they begin resenting one another.
Many such woman revert to Christianity and the sin of that is worse than not initially accepting Islam. It is, therefore, advisable that you exercise caution and don't hasten in your decision. Mashura (consultation) with your seniors is important. You should also make Istikhaara and continuously make Du'aa. Insha Allah, Allah will guide you towards whatever is best for you.
