Embracing Islam secretly
Q: I have a friend and she is really inspired by me and my religion. I am a Muslim. I told her about the importance of Islam and why she should embrace. She looked convinced but all of a sudden she said that she will get family pressure if she embraces Islam openly. I told her to convert her heart as Allah sees whats in the heart. She has accepted Allah as God and Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) as the last prophet. Is this allowed? Will she still see hell?.I hope she sees jannah. I dont want her to go in hell. I want every friend of mine to join me in jannah.
A: If she believes and she does not engage in any act of disbelief openly or secretly, and she practises Islam openly to the best of her ability then she should be a muslim. You should not be in contact with this woman as she is a non mahram to you. If you wish to pass on this message, you may ask a woman in your family to pass it on to her and explain to her matters relating to religion.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
