Is it permissible to marry an atheist who believes in one God but not in all of His exalted attributes?
The questioner did not specify the religion of the woman who holds the corrupt belief. Her situation falls into one of three possibilities:
1. If she is Muslim: It is not permissible to marry her, because she is an apostate for denying the attributes of the Creator. 2. If she is non-Muslim and not from the People of the Book (a polytheist): It is not permissible to marry her, based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe." 3. If she is from the People of the Book: If she follows her distorted religion: It is permissible to marry her, because their distorted religions contain such alterations. If she does not adhere to her false religion: It is not permissible to marry her, because she is considered an apostate and is deemed a polytheist.
