What should my friend do, who secretly converted to Islam and refused to marry a Christian man, while her family is forcing her into this marriage, and she does not have the money to move away nor can she find anyone to support her?

The answer

A Muslim woman is not permitted to marry a non-Muslim. She must refuse him and threaten her family with leaving the house if they insist. She must declare her Islam openly at the appropriate time and seek a Muslim husband, seeking assistance from her friends or charitable people. If she is able to marry a Muslim man to free herself from the complications of marrying a non-Muslim, then that is good. Her marriage contract should be officiated by a Muslim judge, or their community, or a man who marries her, as clarified in previous fatwas. Her disbelieving guardian should not officiate her marriage contract.
