Befriending Shias
Q: I have a best friend who is a Shia and I am a Sunni though I’ve always been told by others not to trust Shias. A couple of months ago this boy I know started being very Islamophobic to me saying Islam is a cult and that I hate Jews which I do not and he called me a terrorist and some stuff about Isis etc. He has not once apologised and he is a kaafir. Recently I’ve had to find out from my peers that my best friend who is a Shia has been dating this same boy secretly whilst knowing what he’s done to me. She has touched a male before but not intercourse with a male, she then lied to me, multiple times and ignored me when she admitted that she has been dating this guy. I then out of anger said some horrible things and told others, whilst she has not apologised what should I do? Islamically what advice would you give me?
A: It is not at all right for you to befriend people that are doubtful in their ways and behaviour, or people that dont have the true Deen with them and show scant regards to Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum) and Deeni obligations. Remain far away from such people.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
