Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says to me: A sister goes to the awliya (close friends of Allah) while she is ignorant, and her husband is a Sufi who is the one who takes her. I advised her and told her that this is shirk (associating partners with Allah), but her husband is insistent on taking her. He asks: How should one deal with this?
Answer:
She should remain with him. We told you what is suitable: remaining a Muslim with a disbeliever. The one who goes to the awliya (close friends of Allah) and asks them for their needs and calls upon them besides Allah is a disbeliever, an associate of partners with Allah. It is not suitable for a Muslim woman to remain with him. Yes.
