  • Status Of Nikkah When One Spouse Leaves Islam

    Posted by Momin Khan on March 5, 2026 at 2:21 pm

    What is the ruling in Islam if two Muslims get married through nikah, and later one of them becomes an atheist? Does the nikah remain valid or does it automatically become invalid?

    From sharia stand-point, change or abandonment of religion of one spouse does not terminate the marriage on its own. It is the individual decision of the spouse whether they want to stay in that marriage or not. Therefore, the marriage will stay intact despite such conversion.
