Question

I would like to find out if a Muslim woman is involved with non muslim man his religion being "Sikh" and they want to get married. both of them will not change their religions and stand firm on that point.

They want to get married keeping their own religions - will they be allowed to get married under Shariah.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man. The marriage will not be recognized in Shariah and the relationship between the two will be regarded as Zina and adultery.

And Allah knows best
