So until he bears witness that there is no God except Allah, the one and only one God, and that Muhammad is the His prophet and Messenger, and believe in the Islam five pillars then he is a Muslim, and it will be permissible for her to marry him.
More detailsThe word "muslim" means the one who has surrendered. Surrendered to whom? To Allah, the Only One God and to surrender to Him means to worship Him( in the way He prescribed through our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)) and to obey Him and please Him in all our actions, intentions and deeds (which again can be followed through the example of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).**A Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim because Allah says in the Quran:
"And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikoon till they believe (in Allaah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolater), even though he pleases you. Those invite you to the Fire, but Allaah invites (you) to Paradise and forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember"[al-Baqarah 2:221]
Allah says in the Quran that a Muslim slave will be better because he will try to help his wife worship and obey Allah which will not be possible with a non-Muslim husband, it may be that he may encourage in a subtle manner to go astray from Islam and its practices. And Islam should prevail in the home of every Muslim.
So until he bears witness that there is no god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, then he is a Muslim, and it will be permissible for her to marry him.
The three conditions for a marriage is that her suitor must be a good and practicing Muslim and her guardian (her father) must agree (to ensure the suitor is true to his word) and the woman to be married must give her consent.
"Women impure are for men impure, and men impure for women impure and women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity: these are not affected by what people say: for them there is forgiveness, and a provision honorable." Surah an-Noor (24):26.
And Allaah knows best.
**Allah sent a Prophet to a group of people in every period of time. The first being Prophet Adam (pbuh) and others following him like Noah (Nuh), Abraham (Ibrahim), Jonah (Yunus) and Moses (Musa) peace be upon them. The last being Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who has been sent to all of us until the end of time. This is why Allah's Book, the Quran, and the sayings of the Prophet (pbuh) are still preserved. Allah sent Prophets to show their fellow humans how best to worship Him in an easy and practical way. He also gave us the choice to believe in Him by sending us a human Messenger. This life is simply a test with so many chances and signs for us to accept, surrender and believe.
EXTRA:
The most important factors for a woman in choosing a husband are his attitude/behavior and his commitment to religion. Wealth and lineage are secondary matters. The most important thing is that the potential husband should be religious and have a good attitude, because if a man has religious commitment and a good attitude, a woman has nothing to lose: if he keeps her (remains married to her), he will keep her on a reasonable basis, and if he divorces her, he will set her free on a reasonable basis. Moreover, a man who is religious and has a good attitude will be a blessing to her and her children, for they will learn good manners and religion from him. But if the prospective husband is not like that (is not religious), she should keep away from him, especially those who take the matter of prayer lightly or who are known to drink alcohol. We seek refuge with Allah.
As for those who do not pray at all, they are disbelieving and it is not permissible for them to marry believing women. It is important for the woman to focus on the matter of attitude and religious commitment. With regard to the matter of lineage, this is a bonus. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If there comes to you (to propose marriage to your daughter etc.) a man with whose religious commitment and attitude you are pleased, then marry (your daughter) to him."
But if you can manage to ensure compatibility (in terms of lineage and socio-economic status, etc.) as well, then this is better.

How long does a woman got to be Muslim for her to marry a Muslim man?
I don't believe there is any restriction like that in Islam... my hafiz sahib once told me that a Muslim man can marry a women of any religion(Jew, christian) as long as she believe that prophet(p.b.u.h) is the last messenger of Allah.. as long as these conditions satisfy you can marry this girl... which means that the day u start believing that prophet(s.a.w) was the last messenger of Allah on the same day u can marry a Muslim man....

How Muslim man and christian woman get married?
Any non Muslim country will not care if you are entitled by your religion, as a Muslim woman, to marry a Christian man or not. It is your Islamic religion that requires you, as a Muslim woman, to marry only a Muslim man or a man who converted to Muslim by his own choice and by full faith in Islam religion. If you, as a Muslim woman, don't follow this requirement and instead you marry a non Muslim man, then it is your choice and you hold responsible of this choice in front of Allah (God in English) in the Judgment Day (Resurrection Day).
What are 3 of Muhammad's sayings?
Answer:"Deeds are judged by their intentions; and for every person is only what he intended. So the one who's migration is for Allah and His Messenger, then his migration will be counted as being for Allah (God) and His Messenger (Muhammad). But the one who emigrates for something of this world - or a woman to marry - then his migration will count only for what he intended by it"."You will not truly believe until you desire for your brother what you desire for yourself""He is not a believer who goes to bed at night, while his neighbor is hungry"
What does the Religious Scholars says about a Muslim woman marrying a Catholic with him converting Is Nikah acceptable?
It's normal in LA :)In the name of Allah Almighty, the most Merciful, most beneficent.Answer to the Question: A Muslim man is allowed to marry a Christian or Jew woman provided she follows true Christianity or true Jewism i.e. the original teachings of holy Christ (AS), or Hazrat Musa (AS). The basic principal being ONENESS of Almighty God- There is NO god, but God deserving our worship. He and He alone is God. He has neither been born nor has anybody been born of Him.No Muslim woman is permitted to marry a Christian or Jew , or for that matter, any man belonging to any religion who does not embrace Islam- apart from Allah Almighty has faith that Hazrat Muhammad (May peace and blessings of Allah Karim be upon him) is the last and final prophet sent by Allah Karim.(God). If a woman marries out of Islam, she automatically takes her out of the fold of Islam. She is no more a Muslim in the real sense.Reference: Al-Quran. Sura -II (Al-Baqara). Chapter -II. Verse: 221. Translation: "Do not marry unbelieving women (Idolaters) until they believe (Embrace Islam). A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, Even though she allures you,Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe.........."Let me add that we must keep in mind that religion affects the lives of husband and wife more profoundly than the differences of birth, race, language and position. If two persons love each other, their outlook in the highest things must be the same.Conclusion: A Muslim woman cannot marry a man who is not a Muslim.Prof. Muhammad Aslam Gondal. M.a> English. M.A. Islamic Studiess.
