Re: Imam Khaleel Mohammed's defense of inter-faith marriage
As Salamu Alaykum
Professor Khaleel Mohammed is a fringe academic not representative of mainstream Sunni Islam. He wrote the preface/forward of Irshad Manji's book which further makes him problematic.
It is quite clear in the Islamic Sacred Law amongst the four schools that there is a consensus (ijma) on the issue that the marriage would be deemed invalid if the man is a non Muslim and the woman is a Muslim.
