Muslims marrying non-Muslim girls
Question
I once read somewhere that boys have an option to marry Christian girls. Is it true?
Answer
This type of thinking is on account of insufficient understanding of deen.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
