Those who said: if she accepts Islam and he does not, she is not taken from him

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If the wife of a Jew or a Christian accepts Islam, he is more entitled to remain her husband, because they have a covenant with the Muslims.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The disbelieving husband has more right to her as long as the two of them are in the abode of Hijrah.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Yazid al-Khatmi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote in a letter about this that the women are to be given the choice.

Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Her husband has more right to her as long as the woman is in the city.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The marriage of the two of them remains in place.

Al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Hani bin Qabisah al-Shaybani was a Christian and had four wives. All of them accepted Islam, so Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote an order that those women were to remain with him.

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Christian wife of a Christian man accepted Islam. People wanted to separate her from her husband, so they travelled to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he gave the woman the choice.
