Question :

Is it permissible for a Christian man to embrace Islam in secret and is it permissible for a Muslim woman to marry him?

The Answer :

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

His embracing Islam in secret is between him and Allah; however, it isn`t permissible for a Muslim woman to marry him except after he declares his Islam and it is ascertained that he is sincere about that. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
