shias

Q: If a person is a shia, can he or she be buried in a Muslim graveyard?

Q: Many of my muslim friends say that you can't eat at a shias house but I believe as long as they are muslims and share the kalima, there is nothing wrong as long as it is within the halaal limits. Kindly clarify because i have many ithn ashari friends and wouldn't like to cross Allah's hukum.

Q: I want to ask can a sunni muslim eat food which came from a shia?

Q: I have a cousin from a very Deen dar family who got involved with a girl from a Shi'ah background in the college he was studying in. She herself was "modern" and my cousin was probably able to persuade her to give up the peculiarly Shi'ah beliefs that she was brought up with. Four years later they were getting married and we were invited to their wedding. There was a wedding performed by one or their "ulama" (stating that this was a nikaah daa'imi - - not muwaqqat?!) and a reception. My father is an Aalim (a student of Mawlana Saleemullah Khan mudda zilluhu al-aali) and is also somewhat visible in the Tabligh work. Although he was not present my mother was concerned about his good name if she attended a social occasion of Shi'ah people. Also I am twenty and my brother is eighteen and my mother was concerned that we not interact socially with Shi'ah people. As a result my mother chose not to go to either occasion. Since then some family elders have come down hard on us for not coming and have said that this was Qata' rahmi and also that since the girl has accepted Islam we should have supported her but being present and should have accepted her "with open arms", and that we are running the risk of driving her away while she has accepted Islam. Should we pay heed to these objections and try to make amends? Please answer in detail.

Q: A cousin of mine in a highly deendar environment has married a shia and our family decided not to attend the marriage of our cousin. However, a few of our deendar relative and elders called us and scolded us for doing Qata' Rahmi. Q.1 What is the fatwa on attending a marriage/nikah being arranged by Shia? Is it permissible or impermissible? Q.2 Is it Qata' Rahmi on our part to boycott the marriage?

Q: I have something to ask. I have been talking to this nice gentleman. He is a Muslim and so am I. My parents found out I was talking to him. I was afraid to tell my parents because I'm Sunni and he's a Shia but when we die aren't we all Muslims Sunni or Shia it doesn't matter right? So my parents told me that he can come in 6 weeks time to get me and him engaged so we can talk with them knowing the man said that's fine yes but in his past he did bad things. When he was 14 he stole a car and he has records from the police. My parents want to do a police check on him but he has been doing very good. He's 18 now mashallah turning 19 and I am 17 turning 18 and I don't know what to tell my parents because we both love each other very much alhamdulilah and we want to have a future together. He has repented from his mistakes, he was young and stupid. But don't we all humans make mistakes and then learn from our mistakes? Therefore he's human and so am I. We made bad choices in the past so should it matter how he has police records? Because he's a changed man now and I want my family to accept him. What should I do I really need help thank you!

Q: My question is can a Sunni man marry a woman who is a Zaidi (Shia) since Zaidi's are closer to Sunnis than Shias?
