Converting the sects

Re: Converting the sects

@NaMaan

So my question is , if it is possible to convert from one sect to another ? Means like from Shia to Suni , Suni to Shia , Bralawi to DiyoBandi , DiyoBandi to Bralawi and so on .

and what will be the requirements of it ? Will it be something like converting from one religion to another ? Will they have to recite Kalmah or something ?

PS: Please don’t mess up my thread . I ain’t that sweet as I look

I can vouch for that

Shia and Sunni are both Muslims and therefore from a purely religious point of view there is absolutely no problem for them to be married. The answer, however, might be totally different when it comes to cultural or relationship point of view.

For many it is difficult enough to accept that their spouse has different opinion, let alone having a fundamentally different understanding of religion. Problems may arise when it comes to religious ceremonies and practices, relationships with members of the different religious community, raising kids, etc…

The other difficulty is that not only do the two persons need to be open-minded and be tolerant enough to accept their differences, they also need to be brave and strong against possible reactions from the members of the two communities who may have extreme sectarian feelings and beliefs. Your parent’s belief that the marriage is void is only an example.
