Is it permissible to marry the Rafidah and mix with them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We have a second question. We have the Rafidah in Iraq in large numbers.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : The Rafidah, meaning the Shi'ah, that is what we call them.
The Shaykh : The Rafidah
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So we have them there in large numbers, and we mix with them to the point of marriage and exchanging social relations. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : It might have been said that mixing only is permissible, but marriage requires detail. It might have been said that this mixing and dealing with them is permissible if there were a strong Muslim community, but this community is missing, especially in your country. Therefore, it is not permissible to mix with these people because of the weakness of the religious deterrent among the people of the Sunnah and because ignorance prevails over them in most cases. Therefore, they must fortify themselves and not deal with those who differ from them.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
