Artificial Marriages for Personal Gain in Non-Muslim Countries Question: May Allāh reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to enter into a paper marriage for the sake of personal benefit, without consummation, in non-Muslim countries—such as for residency or financial gain? Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili hafidahullah: First and foremost, marriage is a solemn and binding contract; it is not to be taken lightly or manipulated for worldly gain. Once a marriage is contracted, all its legal and religious implications apply—there is no room for mockery or trivialisation in matters of marriage. Secondly, it is impermissible to lie to people in order to obtain rights—whether they are non-Muslims or otherwise. Lying to non-Muslims while living among them is not permissible, just as it is not permissible if they live among us. Therefore, for one to falsely claim that he is married in order to obtain rights or benefits granted to married individuals—whether financial or otherwise—is not permissible. One must fulfill conditions truthfully in order to lawfully obtain such rights. _ Related benefits ⤵️ https://t.me/womensbenefits/28 https://t.me/womensbenefits/174
