Is it permissible to entice a non-Muslim woman to marry by offering her official papers in exchange for her conversion to Islam? And is her conversion to Islam acceptable if it is for a worldly purpose? And is it permissible to speak with her about this matter?

It is permissible to speak with a non- woman for a legitimate religious purpose, provided that one adheres to the religious guidelines, such as not being in seclusion with her or speaking in a soft and alluring manner. There is no objection to promising a non-mahram woman marriage for the purpose of winning her heart over to Islam, and this promise must be fulfilled. It is permissible to marry her after she declares her Islam, for the rulings of the religion are based on outward appearances, and she has the same rights and obligations as Muslims, unless she commits an act that nullifies her Islam.
