I ask your indulgence, but it is a topic that is, despite its sensitivity, needs to be

raised.

I have a couple that came to my own community and I have permission to give their story

without too many details in order that we benefit from this.

The issue that they had was that their adult daughter, late 20s working career, has decided

to marry a non-Muslim, not even just a Christian but actually an atheist.

And she is adamant and she is going to go ahead with this.

The parents, they are our community members.

Do we attend the wedding?

And children are born?

What is going to happen?

How much do we boycott or do we even boycott?

We have tried, we have done, she is adamant and she is going ahead with it.

Long story short, there is not much to be specific case, the point I am raising for all

of us here.

It is a very difficult topic, it is a taboo topic, but every Imam and Sheikh will tell you,
