Can Muslims marry self-proclaimed Ahl-Kitab Christian/Jewish girls?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Who are Ahl-Kitab today? Is it permissible to marry a Christian or a Jew girl who claims to be Ahl-Kitab? Please answer the question with evidences from the holy Quran and Hadith.

Answer

(Fatwa: 74/74/M=1433)

The Jews and Christians are called Ahl Kitab (the people of the Book), but today it is hard to find true Ahl Kitab; hence one should not marry a Jew or Christian girl. In this lies the safety of one’s religion and faith.
