Marrying a Christian woman on paper in order to have the right to reside in a kaafir country
Question: 2886
Is it permissible to marry an american christian woman just to get the green card from her, without living, or being alone with here (just on the paper).
My neya: is to do that so I can visit and help my parents back in my country, and be able to work with my degree as( a Computer Programmer).
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
and peace be upon the
Messenger of Allaah.
We put this question to Shaykh al-‘Allaamah
‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, who responded: “It is not one of the purposes
of marriage according to Islamic sharee’ah to marry for the purpose
of gaining residency rights and then to get divorced. It seems to me
that this is not permitted.”
Moreover, marrying a Christian woman
on paper only is a kind of cheating these kaafirs, and this is not permitted.
Allaah does not approve of wrongdoing even to kaafirs. And Allaah knows
best.
