Question : #905

Subject:	Interfaith Marriage
Question:	My Sister got married to a Roman Catholic in 2010. They did not have a nikkah instead they had a church ceremony. Non of my family members attended the ceremony as we were not in favour of this marriage. My sister was determined to go ahead with it and she took her own decision. She is qualified and works. Until now she practices ISLAM and her husband practices his religion, but he is not a strong catholic but his mom is. we have advised both to come into a conclusion and to him to embrace Islam to do a nikkah, but so far nothing has happened. They live at his place. I need to know a fatwa for these type of marriages and please let me know what happens if my sister gets pregnant?? how best can we make him convert to Islam? This issue has made the family distant with her. my dad passed away long time and my mom is in contact with my sis. but my mom never gave her consent or blessings for her marriage. My sister is very kind hearted, ready to help and will do anything for us. Only bad thing she did is marrying a non - muslim according to her wish. we need her back to our family! please help.
Answer:	Our Sheikh will respond to this question in the coming days Insha'Allah, check again soon
