Is it permissible for an Ibadi young man to marry a Shafi'i girl?
The Ibadhiyah are one of the deviant Kharijite sects. It has been reported from the Permanent Committee that they are among the deviant sects due to their rebellion, aggression, and defiance against Uthman and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both). Praying behind them is not permissible. Furthermore, the testimony of an Ibadhi is not legally acceptable. The sacred texts emphasize the importance of choosing a good husband, one whose religion and character are pleasing. What religion could be pleasing from among the deviant sects who advocate rebellion against the Muslim leaders, believe the Qur'an is created, consider the perpetrator of a grave sin to be an infidel, and deny the vision of Allah the Almighty in the Hereafter? Therefore, it is not appropriate to marry a female follower of Ahlus- to a Bid'i (innovator), due to the husband's significant influence on the wife. She might then move from the saved sect to one of the sects of deviation.
