In my opinion you should ask everyone but do what you and your wife agrees on. It is an important matter of your life and no one can decide for you.

My brother is married to a christain and they are raising their kids as a muslim. So again it depends on you and your wife.

oye u…we r humans to

please don’t take offence…i was merely pointing out that the Ahmedia version of Islam is a bit too much on the intellectual side and rarely carries over into practical life.
religions got a lot to do with early indoctrination and identity, and if you allow your kids to wait and choose later you’ll only have intellectual Muslims.
thats generally not a good Islamic upbrining from a Shia or Sunni perspective.

well no offense taken..but just still kinda funny to see how u think an ahmadi upbringing would be. Anyway guess this is a bit off-topic.

@Aalsi

Isn’t general Musharaf a Sunni and his wife a Shia?

And your point is?

Re: Inter-sect marriages

I don't agree the sunni and shia are two separate sects. A sect is something that changes the creed such as the Qadianis, Ismailis, Nation of Islam etc ,

As a parent you can't force your child to follow a particular fiqh, although the obligation lies with the parents to teach him his obligations. My advice is that you raise your child teaching him rational thought and proving the Islam is correct from a rational basis instead of 'I'm your father and you must obey me!' approach.

Well, what did you decide then?

We have agreed that our baby boy will learn about both traditions as he grows up, and then it is upto him when he reaches adulthood which one he wants to follow. But the thing about inter fiqh marriages is that you always of course emphasize what more have we (as Muslims) in common, rather than where we differ. That is always another postive development of such unions.
