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.

In some interpretations of Islamic law, particularly among certain Sunni scholars, marrying outside one's sect can be viewed as problematic due to concerns about religious unity and the potential for conflict in raising children. They may argue that differing beliefs could lead to misunderstandings or challenges in practicing faith together. However, many individuals and families navigate these differences successfully, emphasizing love, mutual respect, and shared values over sectarian divisions.
