Question

I am a Sunni Muslim girl from Pakistan. I have a proposal of marriage from a Shia Muslim boy. I want to know " Is it possible for a Sunni Muslim to marry a Shia Muslim?? Are marriages between Sunni and Shia ok? - Is it allowed in Islam? - What implications will it have?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

There are several different types of Sh??ahs, many of them falling out of the boundaries of Isl?m.? Marriage with such a Sh??ah will be invalid.

Therefore, you should look for a good proposal from a boy belonging to the Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jam??ah (Sunn? Muslims) and not marry a Sh??ah.
