in order to make sure that the divorced wife is not pregnant; if she is pregnant, his divorce will not be valid, until she has the baby. As the Qurlan states. concerning, the permitted. number of wives: I'marry women of your choice, two or three or four. " 1 4. Getting married to a woman during her interim period (the, waiting period after her divorce or. husband's death). If a man wants to marry a woman, whether that woman has been divorced by a former husband or that former husband has died, then the new man must wait until the interim period of that woman is over. The idea behind that is to avoid any doubts about lineage, and to give that woman a chance to rejoin her former husband before the interim period is over. 5. Getting married to a woman who has no religion : Islam forbids a man to get married to a woman who does not believe in a divine religion. By a divine religion, is meant a religion that has a book revealed to a Prophet who has been commanded of God to call his pe-ople to that religion. It is forbidden to marry an unbeliever. as the Qurlan emphasises that in this verse: "Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe :A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. " 2 Ibn Abbas said: if a Christian woman embraces Islam before her husband by a short while, she will by no means remain as his wife legally. 3c Ati7was asked about a woman-from the pagans who h ad a 0 treaty with the Muslims. She embraced Islam, and during her a Idda. ý her. husband embraced Islam too. Could he retain her as a wife ? Iý Q. 4,3 Q. 2,221 Sabih al-Bukharig Vol. 79 P. 157* 83
I c Ati"said, No. ýnless she is willing to remarry him with a new Mahr. However. a Muslim Is also forbidden to marry a Muslim woman apostate even if her apostasy is to another divine religion. Islam does permit Muslims to marry Christian or Jewish women. As the Qurlan says: "This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the people of the book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the people'of the book, revealed before your time. " 3 It is very important to mention here that, a Muslim man may marry a woman from "the people of the book" i. e. a Christian or a Jewish woman in the same way as he would marry a Muslim woman. For example, he must give her an economic and moral status and must not be motivated merely by lust or physical desire. " Furthermore. some of the prophet's associates married such women. an example of such associates was Talha Bin Abd-Allah. 00 2 5 However. it is felt to be better for a Muslim man to get married to a Muslim woman, since naturally. a Muslim woman will be more knowledgeable about Islam and accordingly, will be more qualified to bring up the children in an Islamic way. It was reported that4Umar b. al-Khattab, the second Caliph. used to urge the fighters not to get maried to women from the people of the book for that reason. 6A Muslim woman however, is forbidden to marry a non-Muslim man as the Qurlan states: Ibid "0 ye who believe : when there come to you believing women refugees, examine-(and test) them : God knows best as to their faith. If ye ascertain that they are believers, then send them not back to the unbelievers. They are not lawful (wives) for the unbelievers, nor are the (unbelievers) lawful (husbands) for them. 11 7 " 2.
