What is your opinion regarding marriage to a Barelvi woman?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The beliefs and practices of the Barelwiyyah sect, such as extremism regarding the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the righteous, claiming that the Prophet controls the universe and knows the unseen, circumambulating graves, and seeking help from the dead, are considered disbelief (kufr) and an departure from Islam. If a woman holds these beliefs, she is not a Muslim, and it is not permissible to marry her; as Allah Almighty says: "And do not marry polytheist women until they believe."
