A Common Problem I Notice Alot Lately.....

[SisterJennifer]

Asalaamu alikum Shaunee and congratulations.


I've heard this fatwa before. A lecture was given on this topic about what to do when the wife of a Christian couple choose to revert and the husband is still non-Muslim. The point was made that Islam is meant to improve the lives of people, not to make it worse. If the women is told to immediately leave her husband and tear apart the family, it didn't improve anything, and may put her and the children in a hardship. Also the husband was not given a fair chance to learn Islam from his reverted wife and the surrounding Muslim community. So rather than tearing up the family, the exsisting Muslim community should do their best to support the new revert and the rest of her family to give the rest of the household the ability to experiance what Islam is all about. That was the jist of it.


Allah knows best.


And I'm very happy for you Shaunee, and I pray that Allah will open the heart of your husband and make your marriage stronger than ever before.


Take care.
