It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a woman from the People of the Book (a Christian or a Jew), but not from other religions or sects, provided that the Shariah conditions are met. If a Muslim man marries a woman from the People of the Book and she gives birth to daughters, then by his marriage to her and consummation of the marriage, her daughters become his perpetual mahram (unmarriageable kin).
