Muslim woman marrying a non-Muslim

Q: I prayed istikhara with the intention for God to show me the right person who will be my future husband, i prayed istikhara the way it should be and add additional prayer that God should show me my future husband. After istikhara it was already in the night I went straight to my bed and sleep, I had a dream that I am married to a man, he was sitting on the side of the same bed with me while I was sleeping not close to him. I woke up from the sleep. Inside the dream of istikhara I saw blood on the bed sheet without having any sex in the dream and I was told in the dream that this is what I want to see. I repeat the samething several times I saw the samething and the man I saw is a Christain man that likes me. After all those istikhara I perform all my muslims boy friends live me without any problem, those that were asking me out are no more except this Christain man. i prayed another istikhara on him alone and uptill now we are still together. what did this mean please?

A: You should sincerely repent to Allah Ta'ala for getting involved in this haraam relationship. Immediately leave this person and make a firm resolve that you will never ever repeat this sin in the future. In Islam it is haraam for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim (whether Jew, Christian, or any other religion). If a Muslim woman marries a non-Muslim, the nikaah will not be valid and she will be perpetually living in zina.

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