I understand that the majority opinion does not accept  these unions but I also know there is controversy about this question,  and I have read many reports of scholars coming out and saying that the  question is not clear because it is not specified as H\u0323ar\u0101m in the  Koran. Please kindly give me guidance about this question as it is very  important to me.  <\/p>\n<div>Thank you.<\/div>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>According  to my teacher, Mr. Javed Ahmad Ghamidi, Muslim women are not allowed to  marry non-Muslim men. This is because the Qur\u2019\u0101n has allowed marriage  of Muslim men with women of <em>Ahl al-Kitab<\/em> but has not allowed the  other way round. The main reason for this seems to be the general  dominance of the husband over his family. It is usually expected that  the whole family will be under the influence of the man who is the head  of the family.  <\/p>\n<div>Hope this helps.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-04-02<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5894\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  am writing to ask you if you know Sheikhs that allow Muslim women marry  Christian men.
