If so then what  is the reason of this permission and if does not then why?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>Faith  and religion is a very important matter for all the individuals.  Therefore, commonly people marry into their respective faiths. However,  the Islamic Shari\u2018ah has allowed Muslims to marry women of the People of  the Book. This it should be noted is also a conditional allowance. The  Holy Qur\u2019an only allowed the Muslims to marry into adherents of these  faiths when the supremacy of Islam was established in the Arabian  Peninsula. The People of the Book were living the life of subjugation.  The Holy Qur\u2019an made subtle allusion to the fact. The related verse of  the Holy Qur\u2019an reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">This  day are [all] good things made lawful for you. The food of those who  have received the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful  for them. And so are the virtuous women of the believers and the  virtuous women of those who received the Scripture before you (lawful  for you) when ye give them their marriage portions and live with them in  honor, not in fornication, nor taking them as secret concubines. Whoso  denies the faith, his work is vain and he will be among the losers in  the Hereafter. (5:5)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>The  Qur\u2019anic words \u2018now you can marry\u2019 clearly allude to the fact that the  circumstances and position of Muslims is considered in this regard. We  cannot marry in any circumstances among the followers of other religious  barring the People of the Book. <\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-08<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5978\" 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 wanted to know do  Islamic teachings allow a Muslim to marry a Hindu girl?
