Marrying a Shia
Q: I am a Sunni Muslim girl and I got a marriage proposal from a Shia friend of mine. I wanted to know if I can marry him.
Some of the things I would like to mention about him is that his family doesn’t do shirk in a way that they don’t put anyone else at Allah’s place like most of the other Shia’s do.
Secondly, we’ll do the sunni nikaah and my Uncle is an Aalim so he will read our nikaah. They don’t curse or say anything bad to our beloved Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu anhu), Hazrat Abu Bakar (radhiyallahu anhu) and Hazrat Usman Ghani (radhiyallahu anhu).
Kindly tell me if I can marry him and what conditions should there be if I haven’t mentioned them already here.
A: According to our Ulama Shias are not Muslims. Hence, the nikaah with a non-Muslim is not valid and it is not a nikaah. Therefore, you will be living in zina. Remember, it is not even right to keep such people as friends.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
