The importance of caring for the newly Muslims who accept Islam in our countries
( Part No : 9,Page No:459)


From `Abdul `Aziz Bin `Abdullah Ibn Baz to His Highness, the Honorable Prince, may Allah guide him to all goodness and make His religion victorious through him!

Amen.



May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!

I refer to Your Highness all the documents related to the conversion of the woman called J. M. A. to Islam...

I report to you that I think that it not permissible to return it back to her country or give her to her disbelieving husband, for Islam separates between her and him. One should think good of her and the like who embrace Islam in order to encourage them and others to accept Islam and abide by it out of cooperating in goodness in accordance with Allah's Saying, Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwâ (virtue, righteousness and piety) The Prophet (peace be upon him) also says, Allah helps His slave as long as the slave helps his brother. He (peace be upon him) also says, Beware of suspicion, for it is the worst of false tales. (Agreed upon by Imams Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

The government should do good to this woman and the like of those who accept Islam in our country and keep them in their positions. If she wants to marry to the person referred in the identity document, there is no harm with that provided that

( Part No : 9,Page No:460)

marriage is concluded by the court for the ruler is a guardian for those who have no guardian. The disbelieving guardians of this woman have no authority over her, for Islam separates between them and her. I hope that you concern with the matter of this woman and the like.

May Allah reward your pursuits, increase your reward, and make you among the supporters of Truth, for he is the Most Gracious!

May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be with you!


Complement: Concluding marriage should be carried out after she finishes the waiting period from her disbelieving husband after her accepting of Islam, which fulfills by giving birth to her baby if she is pregnant or passing through three times of menstruation. She should be trusted in the matter of menstruation, for she is more acquainted with the matter of herself.

May Allah guide us all to what pleases Him!
