My cousin (Sunni Muslim) in Pakistan is working in company and his colleague (a Shia girl) both want to marry each other. But my cousin’s family doesn’t agree with this marriage. The girl says she will convert to Sunni to marry him. But the girl’s family will still remain Shia and the girl doesn’t want break the relationship with her family. But you know the aftermath of this marriage. What will be the effect on their children having both religion (Sunni and Shia)? Can you explain according to our Shariah? And also please explain about the Shia religion. Some peoples said they are Kafir.
Wedding between sunni and shi’at is not permissible, therefore, one should stay away from it. If a person repents and decides to distance oneself from the wrong school of thought then it is incumbent on that person to distance himself or herself from all the people of that school of thought. Therefore, if the girl is sunni then she must censor all her relationship with her sheit relatives then and only then her repentance would be valid, otherwise not. Another big problem with these people is that they consider lying as part of their religion and one of the obligations. So, one should be very cautious in dealings with them and also in taking information from them.
