Naweza kuoa tena nikibadili dini kuwa Muislamu

[Chunga Sana]

Kwa kuwa ndoa za kikristo hazivunjiki na haziruhusu mke zaidi ya mmoja na kwa kuwa kwa Tanzania mahakama pekee ndio yenye mamlaka ya kuvunja ndoa, Je kwa Mkristo akibadili dini anaweza kuoa tena bila kuvunja ndoa ya awali?

Na je sheria ya ndoa itaitambua ndoa hio ambayo kwa mjibu wa dini mpya ya Kiislamu inaruhusu ndoa za wake wengi?

Naomba kuelimishwa

Si hivo tu, hata ukitaka kuoa mkristo mwingine unaruhusuwa.

Now I know that Islamic is very straight forwards regarding married non-muslim who wants to join their region....


Im christian and married but has been separated for 10 years without legal procedures.I was planning of turning to Islam? can i marry a Muslim man after I converted to Muslim even though my first marriage is not annulled?
Praise be to Allah.

Firstly:

We ask Allah to bless you and enable you to enter His religion, and we hope that that will be in the near future.

Secondly:

If a woman becomes Muslim and her husband does not become Muslim until her ‘iddah (waiting period following divorce or separation) is over, then it is her choice. If she wants she may marry someone else or if she wants she may wait in the hope that he may become Muslim one day.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: What is indicated by the ruling of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is that the marriage contract is put on hold; if he becomes Muslim before the end of her ‘iddah, then she is his wife, but once her ‘iddah ends, she may marry whoever she wants, or if she likes she may wait for him, and if he becomes Muslim then she is still his wife, with no need for a new marriage contract.

For more information please see the answer to question no. 21690

Based on that, if you have become Muslim and your ‘iddah has ended, and your husband has not become Muslim, in this case it is permissible for you to marry a Muslim man and it is not stipulated that you should get a divorce from the first husband, because the marriage was annulled when you became Muslim.

Imam ash-Shaafa‘i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If one of the spouses became Muslim before the other, and the husband had already consummated the marriage with the wife, it is not permissible for the husband to have intercourse with the wife, and the marriage is suspended until the end of the ‘iddah. If the partner who had not yet become Muslim does become Muslim before the end of the ‘iddah, then the marriage is still valid. But if he does not become Muslim before the end of the ‘iddah, then the marriage is ended, and it is an annulment without a divorce, and the woman may marry whoever she wishes from that point.

End quote from al-Umm, 5/49

The length of the ‘iddah in this case starts from the time when the wife became Muslim and it lasts for three menstrual cycles if she menstruates, three months if she has passed menopause, and until she gives birth if she is pregnant.

But I am still not clear on validity of the marriage as far as Christianity and Marital Laws are concerned...

Uislam unaruhusu kuoa mkristo, ila mkristo hawezi kumuoa miuslam, hata mke wako wa zamani anaweza kubaki katika dini yake ya kikristo, ila ni vema akifata dini ya mme. na ukimuonyesha matendo yako mazuri ya kiumini atasilimu tu, ndio maana wengi wanasilimu kwa vitendo vizuri na neema ya muumini wa kweli.
