Marrying an irreligious person

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I am an unmarried young lady. I wish to pursue a marriage with someone, a Muslim man. However he is unable to offer me anything including religion. However his home language is Arabic. Instead he offers me his love and his life.

Bismillaah

A: Love and life are secondary things. We live for Islam and die for Islam. If he cannot offer Islam and good Islamic values then what is the point in joining up with such a person.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
