How can a sunni girl convince her parents to marry a shia boy?

Answer 1

If they are parents who know aht Islam is, and love the Prophet Muhammad, then the best way for a Muslim girl to convince them to let her marry a Shiah boy is to say: "He will convert to Islam".

If the Shiite is willing to renounce and reject the following, then perhaps.

1) No praying to other than Allah. No duaa to Fatimah, or Ali, or Hussein or anything like that.

2) No rejection of the hadith of the people of the Sunnah.

3) No cursing of Abu Bakr, Omar and Aisha.

4) No bidaa practices - like Ashurah in which they cut and beat themselves.

If he does not give up these, then he is not a Muslim, anyway.

Oh, and be careful . . . he may be pretending. make sure he means it. Otherwise, go and find yourself a nice Muslim husband to marry. Save yourself all the regrets you will have if you marry a Shiah; Allah Himself will not bless such a marriage.

Answer 2

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the merciful.

really, Allah has made each and every one equal before Him but the best in the sight of His is the one who fears Him. Fear of Allah is the respect of His Principles, therefore, they can not be the same those who respect the principle of Allah and those who do not. don't forget, the most dangerous and risky thing is IDEOLOGY, wants the ideology is conflicted, hence, anything can be destroyed, their is conflict of understanding in the principles of Allah between the Sunnis and shia which is the bases of intervention for the non believers. now to the Question....

it is advisable to discourage such a relationship than to talk on how to convince parents, because Allah said " the fornicators to marry the fornicators, the believers to marry the believers ...." therefore it is the issue of ideology so let the sunni marry the sunni and the shia marry the shia. But this may be difficult for non believers to understand. May Allah protect us.

Yes you can. Though there might be some differences, but if you can work it out and compromise then why not? It is actually makrooh to be labeled as sunni/shia. Do not listen to those who say no. Don't let them ruin your chance with someone you love and someone who is pious.

Yes, of course. They are both Muslims. A Sunni girl can marry a Shia boy and A Shia girl can marry a Sunni boy.

Answer 1

Within Allah's (SW) eyes there are no distinctions or differences between a king or begger or between a Sunni Muslim and a Shia Muslim. It is a terrible thing that there is these distinctions within the Islamic community, and there might be hesitance on your parents and his parents and your respective communities if she was to marry a Shia.

Answer 4

Answer 1

Yes you can... They both are the believers of the same God, the same Prophet and the same Quran. There are differences among them, but that shouldn't restrict someone to marry among themselves. Its not the religion that's against such marriages, but the people who would like to continue hatred till the end of life.

Answer 2

I don't think so because I am Sunni and well people say that u shouldn't because they worship Allah and Hazrat Ali (god forbid). So u shouldn't marry her, unless she becomes Sunni too.
