What is the ruling on a man who was non-Muslim, but converts to Islam because he wants to marry a Muslim woman?
If he declares the two testimonies without the acknowledgment of its meanings and without commitment to them in such a way that he does not see himself, because of this, as a Muslim, then he is not considered as one and the marriage to him is invalid. If his testimony was with the acknowledgment of its meanings and commitment to them in such a way that he considers himself to be a Muslim, then he is one and the marriage with him is valid.

Could you please clarify what you mean by a woman being in charge of her own marriage, as mentioned in some of your answers?
What we mean by this is when the father places his daughter in charge of herself and gives her the right of marrying herself to whomever she desires without the need to refer to him.If the father does not ask about the affairs of his daughter because of family disintegration, then apparently this is considered as making her in charge of her marriage.
If someone had stolen something from a person who does not care for the thing, and the stealer then seeks forgiveness from Allah Almighty, is this sufficient? Can he then use the item, or does he have to return it to the owner?
It is not permissible to use the item without the owner’s approval. The stealer is obligated to seek the owner’s approval, or he must return the item to owner even if this is done without the later knowing it was stolen in the first place.
