Question: Can I be in a relationship with a non-Muslim?

There is no legislative prohibition for Muslim countries to have various types of relations with non-Muslim countries whether they are of Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu or other persuasions. This relationship should be based on mutual respect and upholding the conditions of the contract.

Is it prohibited to marry a non-Muslim?

Most religious scholars agree that Islam permits Muslim men to marry “women of the book” – Christians or Jews – thus expanding the number of potential partners to choose from. Muslim women, on the other hand, are forbidden to marry a non-Muslim unless her partner converts to Islam, say purists.

Can you be in a relationship as a Muslim?

They have religious restrictions that limit physical contact in premarital relationships. Dating is still linked to its Western origins, which implies underlying expectations of sexual interactions — if not an outright premarital sexual relationship — which Islamic texts prohibit. But Islam does not forbid love.
