If non-Muslims marry, is their marriage valid in the eyes of Allah (SWT)?
Answer
If a non-Muslim married couple accept Islam, their marriage before Islam will be recognised. However, if they are married to very close relatives (Mahaarim), then that marriage will not be recognised.
And Allah Taãla 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.
