What is the ruling concerning a Sri Lankan Muslim man who married a Buddhist woman and had three daughters with her, unknowingly of its prohibition, and then his wife agreed to embrace Islam?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The daughters from marriage with a Buddhist are his legitimate daughters, even if the marriage contract was invalid, due to the husband's belief in its validity. The marriage contract between them must be annulled immediately. If the wife embraces Islam, then it is permissible for them to renew the contract with valid conditions.
