(Fatwa: 951/742 =H/1429)
If that girl embraced Islam already with sincerity of heart and then the Muslim boy married her as per the Shariah, the nikah would be valid. On the other hand, the second boy is dearer to Allah, for whatever he has done is because of piety (taqwa) and fear of Allah. And whoever bears these good characters, he is surely dearer to Allah. While, the first boy follows lust at the first step even he commits a major sin, and a man possessing these habits becomes far away for being dear to Allah, but sometimes he deserves the curse of Allah. And if the girl is not true in her intention of Islam, but she embraced it for the sake of lust and clearing the way for marriage then there is fear of more dangers.
