Islamic Questions & Answers
i need to find some useful info about shias
and thier difference between us sunnis... i know this
man and he loves me very much and wishes to marry me -
forever not the mut aa type of marraige, however i
know his briefs are not in line with the sunnis so i
ahve discussed this wiht him and he has agreed to to
research the differences - i ma hoping that this way
he will be able to decide for himself which is the
right path my problem is that i ma not able to find
any sights which provide proper comparison and which
do not directly accuse shias as being wrong - i wish
to talk to someone about this aaas i know there I wll
be questions raised between me and this person however
i need assistance and would much appreciate it if i
could talk to someone or get a source where even he
could study which would not make him feel as if his
beiefs are being pout down - i think that telling
someone softly and nicely will amke a person more
willing to listen than saying his beliefs are wrong.
Praise be to Allaah.
We Sunnis wish all people well, and we ask Allaah to
guide all those who are misled and to reward all those
who obey Him. We hope that Allaah will guide those
Raafidis…
The differences between the Ahl al-Sunnah (Sunnis) and
the Raafidis are very great and are fundamental. For
example, the Raafidis say that the Qur'aan was
altered, and they condemn most of the Sahaabah (may
Allaah be pleased with them) and think that they went
astray; they exaggerate about their imaams and worship
them, and give them precedence over the Prophets and
angels; they go on pilgrimages to mashhads (shrines)
and graves, where they do all kinds of actions of
shirk, associating others in worship with Allaah. They
also believe in hypocrisy (as a tenet of faith) and
call it taqiyah (dissimulation), and they believe in
al-badaa'(the notion that Allaah "changes His mind"),
al-raj'ah (the Return, i.e., the raising of the dead
to life again for some time in the same form as they
were before) and absolute infallibility of their
imaams, and in prostrating on a handful of clay…
We advise you to read "Al-Khutoot al-‘Areedah" by
Muhibb al-Deen al-Khateeb [this book is available in
English – Translator], or Mukhtasar al-Tuhfat al-Ithna'
‘Ashariyyah by al-Dahlawi, or Fikrat al-Taqreeb bayna
Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Shee'ah by Naasir al-Qaffaari.
And we advise you not to think of marrying this man…
Whoever gives up something for the sake of Allaah,
Allaah will compensate him with something better. We
ask Allaah to make you strong and grant you a good
life in this world and in the Hereafter.
We would also remind you that it is not permitted to
have relationships with non-mahram men, as you will
find explained clearly in Questions 2005 , 9465 And
1114 We ask Allaah to help you to do all that is good.

My Cousin (Daughter Of My Paternal

Ruling On That?

Islamic Questions & Answers
My cousin (daughter of my paternal uncle) is
going to marry a Shi'i. What is the Islamic ruling on
that? How can I persuade her not to go through with
this marriage, knowing that her parents agree to it?
Please advise me, may Allaah reward you with good.
Praise be to Allaah.
The Standing Committee was asked the following
question:
We come from a tribe that lives on the northern
borders [of Saudi Arabia], and we mix with tribes from
Iraq who are idolatrous Shi'ah; they worship domes and
call them al-Hasan and al-Husayn and ‘Ali. When one of
them stands up he says. "O ‘Ali, O Husayn." Some
people from our tribe have intermarried with them and
mix with them in all circumstances. We have tried to
teach them but they do not listen. I do not have
enough knowledge to teach them but I hate what they
do, and I do not mix with them. I have heard that we
cannot eat meat slaughtered by them, but these people
eat their meat and do not care. We are asking you what
are our obligations in this case?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah and blessings and peace be upon
His Messenger and his family and companions.
If the situation is as you describe – that they call
upon ‘Ali, al-Hasan and al-Husayn, and so on – then
they are mushrikeen who are guilty of major shirk,
which puts them beyond the pale of Islam. It is not
permissible for Muslim women to marry them, and it is
not permissible for us to marry their women, or to eat
meat slaughtered by them.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And do not marry Al-Mushrikaat (idolatresses) till
they believe (worship Allaah Alone). And indeed a
slave woman who believes is better than a (free)
Mushrikah (idolatress), even though she pleases you.
And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikoon
till they believe (in Allaah Alone) and verily, a
believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik
(idolater), even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikoon)
invite you to the Fire, but Allaah invites (you) to
Paradise and forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His
Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may
remember"
[al-Baqarah 2:221]
And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send
blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his
family and companions.
From Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 2/264
You have to advise your uncle and cousin, and tell
them about the fatwas of the scholars concerning this
issue. If your uncle insists on marrying his daughter
to a Shi'i, then refer the matter to the sharee'ah
court to prevent this evil action.
And Allaah knows best.
