Assalamalekum,

I am muslim and follow the teachings of Islam. I fell in love with a boy who is non-muslim. Eventually he converted and is following and practicing the muslim religion too. He offers Namaz and also knows how to read Quran in arabic. He has read the english translated version of Quran as well. He is doing everything by heart and not out of compulsion.

My question to you is can I get married to him now under Islamic law?

Waiting for a response.

Allah hafiz and with warm regards,

- Noor

Assalamualaikum,

The fact that he can read the Quran in Arabic and he offers prayers suggests that he is serious in his Islam and is not pretending, in order to marry you.

If you have parents Let him approach your parents and propose to them; to get married to you. He should make sure that he does not leave any doubt about his practice of Islam and his conviction to stay with Islam.

And remember that this does not mean you cross the limits set by the Shareeah, before getting married to him.

As far as I know, If he has said his Shahada, meant it, and is living his life as proof of it, then yes, with your parents permission, you may marry.

I agree with Afaroo though. Have him speak to your parents. You speak to your parents. You both speak to your Imam. Good luck!
