Are Muslim men allowed to marry women from another faith other than Islam, Christianity and Judaism? It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Christian or a Jewish woman without the need for her to convert to Islam at any time. Although this is permissible, it is not encouraged because interfaith marriages are likely to run into problems. A Muslim woman may not marry anyone other than a Muslim. As for other religions, it is not permissible for a Muslim man or woman to marry their followers.

In traditionalist interpretations of Islam , the permissibility for Muslims to engage in interfaith marriages is outlined by the Quran : it is permissible, albeit discouraged, for a Muslim man to marry Non-Muslim women as long as they are identified as being part of the " People of the Book " Christians , Jews , and Sabians and it is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a Non-Muslim man. The tradition of reformist and progressive Islam , on the other hand, permits marriages between Muslim women and Non-Muslim men; [7] Islamic scholars opining this view include Guyanese-American professor Khaleel Mohammed , American activist Daayiee Abdullah , and Sudanese politician Hassan al-Turabi , among others. In general, while Muslim men are allowed to marry non-Muslim women, the Quran instructs them to take measures to avoid such acts and instead marry Muslim women. Although the Quran contains no explicit prohibition for Muslim women marrying non-Muslim men, some scholars argue that the fact that it only mentions the allowance for Muslim men means that Muslim women are prohibited from interfaith marriages. In the case of a Christian—Muslim marriage, which is to be contracted only after permission from the Christian party, the Christian wife is not to be prevented from attending church nor from engaging in her own prayer and worship.

Interfaith marriage in Judaism also called mixed marriage or intermarriage was historically looked upon with very strong disfavor by Jewish leaders, and it remains a controversial issue among them today. Many Jews followed the Talmud and all of resulting Jewish law Halakha until the advent of new Jewish movements following the Jewish Enlightenment resulted in the " Haskala "; in Halakha marriage between a Jew and a gentile is both prohibited, and also void under Jewish law. The Hebrew Bible contains numerous examples of interethnic marriage. Numerous figures, such as Abraham , Moses , and David , are described taking non-Israelite women as wives or consorts, and the books of Ezra—Nehemiah describe widespread intermarriage of Jews and Samaritans , and to a lesser extent, Philistines. Inter faith marriage, on the other hand, was almost universally condemned, as it was perceived that such a union could result in the perversion or abandonment of Israelite religion. Since the notion of these interethnic marriages were inextricably tied to the potential mixing of Israelite and foreign religions, the biblical text uses the condition of having "foreign" spouses to illustrate the concerns surrounding interfaith unions.
