Bayhaqi Q13763 — Religion as a condition of compatibility

قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {وَلَا تَنْكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنُوا} [البقرة: 221]، وَقَالَ: {وَلَا تَنْكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكَاتِ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَّ} [البقرة: 221]، ثُمَّ اسْتَثْنَى فَقَالَ: {وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ الذِّينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ} [المائدة: 5] دَلَّ بِذَلِكَ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمُرَادَ بِالْمُشْرِكَاتِ الْوَثَنِيَّاتُ وَالْمَجُوسِيَّاتُ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Allah Almighty says: "And do not marry (your women) to polytheist men until they believe." [Surah al-Baqarah: 221]
And He said: "And do not marry polytheist women until they believe." [Surah al-Baqarah: 221]
Then, making an exception (to this ruling), He said: "And (also lawful are) the chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you." [Surah al-Ma'idah: 5]
By this Allah Almighty indicated that what is meant by polytheist women is idol-worshipping and Magian women, and Allah knows best.
