Question

Can we do nikaah with ahle kitab. I mean with a Christian girl, or should I tell her to accept Islam as a religion first then I will be able to do nikaah.

Answer

Nikaah with ahle kitaab has been strongly condemned by our ulama on account of the wrongs that are associated with it and the consequences of such a relationship.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
