Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a man to marry his daughter to an innovator, or is it not?
Answer:
An innovator in bid'ah (religious innovation) varies; if the bid'ah entails kufr (disbelief), he is not to be married, such as one who calls upon other than Allah, slaughters for graves, makes vows to graves, or seeks aid from the dead. This is a bid'ah of disbelief, and he is not to be married. As for the bid'ah that is less than kufr and less than shirk (associating partners with Allah), then marrying him is valid, but because he is a Muslim. However, it is not recommended to marry her to anyone except one who is upright in obedience and sound in creed. Yes.
