And they cannot have conjugal relations, for the infidel husband is unclean: “O you who believe, the idolaters only are unclean.” (Qur’an 9:28)
The non-Muslim world remains almost completely ignorant of these teachings of Islam, and assumes that it affirms the equal dignity and rights of all human beings.
“Husband Refuses to Accept Islam: What to Do?,” About Islam, July 17, 2022:
Q: I am a Christian woman who has converted to Islam. I have been trying to give da`aah to my husband but so far he has refused to accept Islam. I am confused. I don’t know what I should do. Should I leave him or give him more time? Am I allowed to engage in sexual relations with him, knowing that he is not performing ghusl, etc.?
ANSWER
17 July, 2022
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
Your marriage with your husband is automatically terminated by your conversion to Islam. This means, you are no longer permitted to have conjugal relations. Pray to Allah earnestly and persistently to open your husband’s heart to the truth of Islam.
Responding to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and an Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:
Your marriage with your husband, according to the strict laws of Islam, is automatically terminated by your conversion to Islam. However, you are allowed to wait patiently for some time to give him a chance to recognize the beauty of Islam and convert to it on his own free will. If he does convert, you can resume your conjugal relations, without a new nikah (marriage)….
Infidel says
Sheikh Ahmed Kutty is a certifiable genius, if he thinks that a person’s conversion to another religion automatically annuls that person’s marriage, and that she doesn’t have to go through a separate divorce
Seriously speaking, the husband of this idiot should divorce her, not just merely say no to her requests to him to convert
mortimer says
Sheikh Ahmed Kutty’s version of Sharia law is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
Of course, this is not the worst part. Sheikh Ahmed Kutty does not say it out loud. The husband’s life is also ‘automatically’ forfeited by leaving Islam. The wife should also leave Islam. Nothing will happen to them if they stay in Canada, but they will obviously lose their Muslim families, who will disown them, but at least they will have each another. If Sharia law doesn’t convince the wife that Islam is a FOOLISH DEATH CULT, then nothing will. Muslims have to think outside the box to realize that Islam is a false manmade cult … it is anti-life and anti-happiness. Most of all, Mohammed is the most obviously false prophet in history … a murderous thug and womanizer.
Sharia law is the problem here and it is obviously false. It was not only codified, but frozen in time as ‘completed’ in 1111 AD when the ‘Doors of Theological Disputation’ (ijtihad) were shut. Further theological disputation is not valid. Any liberalization of Sharia law would be blasphemous and would lead to the deaths of the Islamic deviants.
The human sheikhs who created Sharia did so hundreds of years after Mohammed supposedly heard from Jibreel. The human creators of Sharia supposedly KNEW MORE than the two fictitious characters Mohammed and Jibreel !
Allah, Jibreel and Mohammed did not bring the manuals of Sharia which are now considered infallible … humans did hundreds of years after Mohammed was supposedly dead.
Sharia law is manmade and thus it is not ‘Allah’s law’.
mortimer says
Perhaps this woman was unaware that by joining Islam she was entering a lobster trap. A way in, but no way out.
She will certainly have second thoughts. Most new converts to Islam leave Islam after 19 months on average. It takes that long for them to realize the stupidities in Sharia law and the extreme racism of the Arabs, another well-kept secret in Islam.
Westman says
Agreed, Infidel.
My view is: Lady, the minute you made your NEW religion more important than your husband and your history together, the marriage was over. The fact that you are giving a stranger, from a primitive religion, the power to destroy your marriage means you have already entered the realm of indirect relationships with Islam as the broker. That is social slavery. Unless your husband is a wuss, expect a divorce – he’s not going to accept Islam as a third party having primary control of the relationship.
Grace says
I have to question this woman’s sanity? Objectivity? Intelligence? Did she actually convert to Islam without reading the Koran? Islam is the most extreme doctrine of all of them and you shouldn’t change faiths like you change dresses and then complain because the colors don’t suit you. Her husband is obviously the smart one.
Michael Copeland says
This is yet another example of converts’ finding out after the event the parts that were not revealed before.
Michael Copeland says
Remember that Mohammed said (allegedly) that women are “deficient in intelligence”.
tim gallagher says
Extraordinary arrogance by the Muslim “scholar” to say that a marriage under Canadian law no longer exists because of this woman’s conversion to islam. I often read that Canada has gone a long way down the road to surrender to islam and its bullshit, but this is nonsense. Of course, her husband should throw the convert to islam aside anyway, as his life will be hell putting up with the islamic garbage she now seems to believe.
mortimer says
Tim, from his own viewpoint (a non-rationalistic one), Sheikh Kutty is simply reading what is written in the Sharia law manual. He is not making stuff up here.
But, yes, it is ‘garbage’ made up by Islamic scholars in the middle ages.
Sheikh Kutty is not really a ‘scholar’ either .. he is merely a religious historian who knows where to find Islam’s distorting eye-glasses that look at every human situation differently from a rational person who believes there is such a thing as ‘NATURAL MORAL LAW’.
Islam says that only ‘SACRED LAW’ informs mankind what is ‘moral’ … not human reason.
Reliance of the Traveller a1.r
“it cannot be said that an act which the mind deems good is therefore good in the eyes of Allah, its performance called for and its doer rewarded by Allah; or that whatever the mind feels to be bad is thus bad in the eyes of Allah… The basic premise of this school of thought is that the good of the acts of those morally responsible is what the Lawgiver (Allah or his messenger) has indicated (what) is good by permitting it or asking it to be done. And the bad is what the Lawgiver (Allah and/or Mohammed) has indicated is bad by asking it not be done. The good is not what reason considers good, nor the bad what reason considers bad..
… the (indication) of good and bad, according to the school of thought is the SACRED LAW, not reason (dis: w3)
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the information, mortimer. Well said about islam’s “distorting eye-glasses that look at every human situation differently from a rational person”. Amen to that. To me, islam seems to be a sick ideology devised by a bunch of bent and twisted men. Its vision of god is of a hideous, barbaric, evil monster. It should have had the decency to die away ages ago, like, say, the old Aztec religion, and leave the more rational human beings to get on with improving human life instead of keeping a section of the human race anchored in the dark ages..
mortimer says
To TG: ‘twisted ideology’
The ideology is based on a successful bunch of rebels who managed to take over the Roman Middle East, at a historic moment when Rome was weakened by plague and wars with Persia. The Arabs took over the land between the Persians and Romans. Thereupon, the Arabs cut the Roman Empire in two seizing the southern half of it.
Islam was developed as a reworking of Arabian tribal religion with a gloss of Judaism and Christianity on top that was no more than very bad plagiarisms. Mohammed was an invented figure who largely copies Jesus, Moses and King David. It was all fake and the early caliphs knew it.
This fake religion was entirely patched together from mutually exclusive elements and that is why it is so incoherent and irrational. Christianity and Judaism on the other hand are cradled in the arms of Greco-Roman rationalism … the rationalism that Islam realized it had to oppose and then dominate if the Arabs were to become successful. Islam succeeds through violence and terrorism … not through logic.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, mortimer. That seems like a good summary of islam’s nature. It certainly seems to be full of irrational nonsense. Compared to the high ideals, and peacefulness, of Christianity, islam mainly seems horrendously violent and has brought nothing but misery to its huge number of victims throughout its long history. Fitna, I suspect that you are right about the type of western women who join islam. I suspect that they don’t have a clue about it and the Muslim that they marry probably tells them a load of bullshit about it. I do see some young women where I live who have gone off and married into islam and I do wonder why, out of all the things they could go and marry into, why would they choose misogynistic islam. Maybe, if they are masochists, they might enjoy the life they have decided to live.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Mortimer. A Muslim woman cannot be married to a non-Muslim man. So he either has to convert to Islam or his marriage is invalid.
I wonder if this foolish woman learned about this before she converted to Islam?
Fitna says
I suspect she could be one of those dumb western women who “discovered Islam” and thinks it’s like Hinduism or magic crystals.
She was ‘excited’ by the newness of the experience, but once reality sets in, she’ll quickly realize she joined a brutal death cult and she’ll try to leave it.
If she is a lunatic (as usually only crazies join Islam, the rest are forced into it from childhood by their family), then she might try to marry a Muslim man if she get persuade her spouse to join.
Ofc if she tries to leave, she’ll be an apostate and they will likely try to kill her. Bad decision all around.
Fitna says
*can’t persuade
Infidel says
But if the muslimah was already married to a non-muslim man before her conversion, then her conversion to islam doesn’t automatically result in a divorce: they do have to explicitly go through that separately
I have read about prison thugs converting to islam, and there, the motivation is clear: every criminal act of theirs suddenly becomes halal once done in the name of islam. But for this, or any other woman: what’s her reason?
CogitoErgoSum says
I wonder if this woman knows that if her husband converts to Islam he can take up to three more wives.
CogitoErgoSum says
And maybe some farm animals.
Infidel says
Are muslimahs allowed to rape bulls, or is it again a “privilege” that only their menfolk enjoy?
CogitoErgoSum says
I don’t think she can ever marry one but I think it would be okay for her to breast feed a few of them and then they could be alone with her now and then.
CogitoErgoSum says
BTW, the whole idea of a woman ever “raping” a male of any kind seems preposterous to me. A woman is capable of seduction but …. rape? I don’t think so. Well okay, maybe if a stick or something is used but …. I would rather not go there.
Infidel says
Touche, CES ?
Humans do have cow milk, but for bovines to have human milk – that would be a real innovation. Or as they call it in islam, “bida”, which is haram! ? ?
On the question of a woman raping a man, I once saw a soap where a woman drugged a man and then had sex w/ him. If the roles were reversed, it would definitely have been called “rape”, so I’m assuming that the same holds true here (don’t ask me how she got his thingy erect, I’d rather not think about it). Aside from that, I agree w/ you that a woman might seduce a man, but can’t normally rape him
mortimer says
Yes, CES, three MORE wives, unlimited sex slaves, unlimited farm animals, plus the added ‘attractions’ of being able to beat her senseless any time he wants, and also to divorce her merely by saying ‘talaq’ three times.
What ADVANTAGES are there in Islam for her?
WHAT WAS THIS FOOLISH WOMAN THINKING?
Women have almost EVERYTHING to lose by joining Islam. Islam is the most anti-feminist and the most patriarchal religion.
CogitoErgoSum says
Plus, she gets to be circumcised.
Pray Hard says
More like catatonic scholar.
mortimer says
A sheikh is not required to do what we in the West call ‘scholarship’. We think that a real ‘scholar’ must do original research and publish it for peer review. A scholars original ‘papers’ must be rigorously correct and well-defended and push forward into the realm of new discoveries and extensions to human knowledge. But being a ‘sheikh’ or ‘alim’ is not like that.
A sheikh doesn’t do ANYTHING ‘ORIGINAL’ because that is ‘bida’ (innovation) and ORIGINAL INNOVATIVE THINKING is HERETICAL in Islam.
A sheikh is more a librarian of Islam’s voluminous library..
He is essentially a ‘resource person’ who memorizes answers to specific questions and is able to look them up in books he has read and then explain them to Muslims who want to know how to live according to Sharia.
I know that many journalists refer to such people as ‘Islamic scholars’ but I dispute whether they do any real scholarship.

Good post, Mortimer.

Islamic scholar in Canada tells woman who converted to Islam that she is no longer married to her infidel husband
……………………….
This is orthodox Islam.
mortimer says
Agree with GI … “orthodox Islam”. This silly woman did not read the following hadiths of Mohammed that insult and degrade all women.
The following are the words of Mohammed:
– I think that women were created for nothing but evil
– Women have ten ‘awrat (vulvas). When she gets married, the husband covers one, and when she dies the grave covers the ten (of her shameful parts)
– A straw mat in the corner of the house is preferable to a barren woman
– Women are toys, so choose (your ‘toys’)
– The woman is a toy, whoever takes her, let him care for her [or do not lose her]
– Had it not been for women, God would have truly, truly been worshipped
– Men perished the day they obeyed the women
– Obedience to a woman’s advice causes regret
– Consult women and act contrary (to it)
– Sneezing, drowsing, yawning in prayer, also menstruation, vomiting and nose-bleeding are from Satan
– When…your affairs are in the hands of your women, the interior of the earth (hell) will be the better for you than its surface
– If a woman offered one of her breasts to be cooked and the other to be roasted, she still will fall short of fulfilling her obligations to her husband. And besides that if she disobeys her husband even for a twinkling of an eye, she would be thrown in the lowest part of Hell, except she repents and turns back
– Mohammed asked some women, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?” The women said, “Yes,” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind.”
– I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you (women)
– I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women.
– Bad omen is in the woman, the house and the horse
– After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women
– Don’t wear false hair for Allah sends His curse upon such ladies who lengthen their hair artificially
– Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an
– Women, slaves and camels are the same
– Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman
– “Women are like cows, horses, and camels, for all are ridden,” Tafsir al-Qurtubi (vol. 17, p. 172)
– If you relax the woman’s bridle a tiny bit, she will take you and bolt wildly. And if you lower her cheek-piece a hand span, she will pull you an arm’s length … Their deception is awesome and their wickedness is contagious; bad character and feeble mind are their predominant traits
– “[A man’s wife] fears him, while he fears her not, a kind word from him satisfies her, where nothing of hers has importance in his eyes, it is she who must tolerate the presence of concubines, and it is she who worries when he is ill whereas even her death would leave him indifferent
– If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning
– “Hang up your scourge where your wife can see it” (-Mohammed)
– Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals [awan] with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from God and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of God, so understand and listen to my words…
– Muhammad’s last words on women during his farewell speech:
– God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity. If they refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control of their persons. (Sirat Rasul Allah. Translated in English by A. Guillaume. First published by Oxford University Press, London in 1955)

mortimer you I have read your comments/replies and you are right on target about Islam. Thank you
I have read thaf Muhammad died by exitcution for his crimes? If true, who took over after him death?
Appreciate your input.
Michael Copeland says
Mohammed died from the long-delayed effect of accepting cooked meat offered by a Jewish woman whose fellow Jews he had just slaughtered. She had poisoned it.
Andrew Blackadder says
If that was my Wife I would first off think she has gone bat shit crazy and if I cannot help her wake up then I would have no choice but to divorce her and send her on her way without ANY alimony whatsoever as she can now depend on her muslims fellows to help out, to me she is dead.

Hang on!!! After Ilhan Omar divorced her brother, and married an infidel, where is the Imam?
The elephant in the room is: Is Omar a proper pious muslima, or is she sporting a clitoris like some sort of western whore?
