@Dr_Sufi

Sir I do respect your feelings but in my modest opinion, such people may be termed sinners and not infidels, because if your logic is justified than all those, who do not offer their prayers, do not keep fasts, do not give zakat etc may also be termed Kafir or Infidel (Nauzo billah) because that is what Allah Almighty has commanded us to do in Holy Qur’an.

Bro, among the scholars there are opinions that any Muslim who doesn’t pray 5 times a day is a kafir. However, I don’t hold that opinion my self, because many scholars say, that person is a sinner, but not a kafir.

However, all scholars agree that any person who denies that prayers are fardh, then no doubt that person is a kafir. So, I don’t see how you justified my logic by relating the matter of Aisha (RA) to not fasting, praying, paying zakat, etc. I don’t see the correlation.

The problem with Shia’s is far more. They say Quran has been altered, Aisha (RA) committed adultery, Abu Bakr (RA) was not a Companion, etc. Astaghfirullah.
Anyone holding such beliefs is out of the folds of Islam.

On the other hand, there are Shias who have deviant beliefs, but they are not kafirs.

All in all, it’s not a good idea for a Sunni to marry a Shia. Who knows, tomorrow if she becomes a practicing Muslim it could cause some serious problems for her and her children.

Moreover, any one who does not pay homage or send Darood to Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) or his Ahle Bait is also a Kafir or Infidal (Nauzo billah) because that is what Allah Almighty and His Angels do and that is what He has told us to do, again in the same Holy Qur’an…and the list would go on and on…
In my humble deliberation, we should show some magnanimity by stopping this discussion, praying for the better future of the new Shia-Sunni couple and leaving the the judgment of Iman and Kufar to Allah Subhanahu Ta’ala, Who, undoubtedly is the most Merciful and the most Beneficent.

I agree with your sentiments, but this isn’t a light matter.

If she ends up marrying the Shia who is out of the folds of Islam, then their marriage is invalid in the sight of Allah. Any relations between them would mean zinah. I hope you see the severity of the situation.
