| Mar 20, 2018 at 13:48 | comment | added | Rebecca J. Stones | Oh, my mistake. I looked at the first sentence and it looked like "chaste" = "virgin". | |
| Mar 20, 2018 at 13:45 | comment | added | Medi1Saif♦ | @RebeccaJ.Stones is my answer saying something different? | |
| Mar 20, 2018 at 13:41 | comment | added | Rebecca J. Stones | I found this: On the other hand, being a virgin is not a condition if the woman is from the people of the Book. The fact, that this lady is not a virgin does not affect the validity of the marriage. (IslamWeb) | |

| Aug 23, 2016 at 9:05 | comment | added | G. Bach | @Medi1Saif Hm, al-Ghazali explicitly calls Jews and Christians kuffar, saying there are explicit texts about this as well as their rejection of Muhammad attesting to their status as kuffar (which makes their kufr the greater kind, not the lesser kind). Of course this does not apply to Jews and Christians before Muhammad, and in any text I read on this, the scholars of islam always say the Jews and Christians that will be rewarded for their faith are those before Muhammad. I was under the impression all this is not only uncontested, but the very dominant doctrinal position in this regard. | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 8:10 | comment | added | Medi1Saif♦ | @G.Bach i don't think so, but this is my opinion and I see that Quran is on my side as it's based on surat al-Bayyinah 98! On the other hand the meaning of kufr is very vast so it can mean reject Islam and it can mean other things (kufr is also rejecting gifts of Allah) ... | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 7:50 | comment | added | G. Bach | @Medi1Saif Is that a position with authority in orthodox islam? I thought there was pretty much ijma that rejecting anything in the quran or that Muhammad is a prophet is kufr, which would make both Christians and Jews kuffar. I only ever found ahl al-kitab explained as a term that expresses that while they are kuffar, they are close to islam since they follow previous revelation. | |
| Aug 23, 2016 at 6:48 | comment | added | Medi1Saif♦ | @Ahmedilyas I've already covered this in my answer, but now added a sentence to make it clear. | |

| Aug 23, 2016 at 5:06 | comment | added | Medi1Saif♦ | @G.Bach Quran made a distinction between ahl-al-kitab and named some of them those who disbelieve among the people of the book. So I follow this opinion and don't consider ahl-al kitab per se as kufar. I edited my answer to make clear what I meant. | |

| Aug 22, 2016 at 18:33 | comment | added | G. Bach | "so they are named Christians or Jews but in reality kufar or anything else" I thought ahl al-kitab are kuffar? But I understand the sentiment that other kuffar are farther from islam than ahl al-kitab. | |
| Aug 22, 2016 at 14:41 | comment | added | Ahmed ilyas | Mashallah - thank you for this brother. One quick question: What if the woman prior committed Zina before meeting a Muslim man and then decided that they both want to get married. Would it be made halal if she repents and make Taubah or is it haram to marry her? (As we know, ALOT of westerners commit zina, day in day out! But some do want to change for the better. | |
