Mufti Abu Layth holds that such a nikah would be valid, though not meeting every condition, but advises couples to think hard because faith often becomes a conflict once children arrive. Mufti Abu Layth says he feels the nikah between a Muslim and a non-Muslim would in and of itself be valid.

Yes, it would be valid, but it is discouraged: Islam strongly encourages marrying within the faith so children are not raised amid conflict. Validity is not the same as being a good choice.
