Deobandi marrying a Barelwi

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is the nikaah of a Deobandi jaaiz with a Barelwi?

Bismillaah

A: Deoband and Bareli are names of towns. The basis of the validity of a nikaah is not the town or the area that the person comes from. The validity is based on the right beliefs. If the beliefs are right then the nikaah is valid.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
