Should the woman investigate the cause of her suitor’s conversion to Islam?
A Muslim girl is having a love relationship with a non-Muslim man. If he proposes to marry her, she will ask him to embrace Islam. What is the ruling on that? If he converts to Islam, would it be permissible for her to marry him? How could she verify that he converted to Islam for the sake of Allaah The Exalted and not for the sake of marrying her?

Irrefutably, it is impermissible for a Muslim woman to have a love relationship with a man, even if he was Muslim, as long as this relationship may lead to being alone with him, impermissible touching between them, looking at her `Awrah, enjoying her voice, or the like of illicit actions. Moreover, the fact that they intend to get married later on does not justify such unlawful practices; Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): { Furthermore, the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “ Additionally, the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, also said: “ Therefore, this Muslim woman has to break up with that non-Muslim man and immediately sever this illicit relationship. Then, if this man converted to Islam later, and as is known, embracing Islam is done by means of making a verbal profession of faith, i.e. pronouncing the two testimonies of faith, believing in them, and abiding by their implications. If this happens, it will be permissible for her to marry him and she should not investigate the reasons behind his conversion to Islam. However, it would be better for her to wait and make sure that this man embraced Islam and became a good Muslim, especially if she has doubts about his being convinced with Islam. Allaah Knows best.
