If the non-believer guy accepts converting to Islam and teaching the kids Islam while still keeping his own beliefs to himself at the same time not practising Islam himself, is it considered a valid marriage?
If you know any trusted source that I can ask please do mention it.
As a Muslim it is easier to marry a fellow Muslim, but if not you must marry from Ahlul-Kitab which is either Muslim, Christian, or Jewish. If he is not from these than I am sorry but it is not possible. Dont quote me on this but this is what I have learned and it is much better for you to ask a marja'a instead.
No, if a non-believing man accepts to declare believing in Islam but is not sincere in his statement of belief, it is not considered a valid marriage. He must sincerely believe and declare before marriage. Here is proof that it is not allowed.
“And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikoon till they believe (in Allah Alone)” [al-Baqarah 2:221]. The marriage would be considered invalid and a major sin, since Allah (swt) forbids it Himself in the Quran. Parents are instructed not to give to their daughters to unbelievers in marriage UNTIL they BELIEVE.
