Question
A Muslim woman is married to a Hindu man. Although she says that she is a Muslim, she goes to the Hindu temple, puts the Hindu red dot on her forehead. She participates in their religious functions, etc. What is her status in Islam?
Answer
She is a kaafir despite claiming to be Muslim. Believing marriage to a Hindu as being permissible and participating in the religious customs of kuffaar are acts of kufr which expel a person from the fold of Islam.
Attending Hindu temples, applying the Hindu red dots and the like are acts of kufr.
