What is the ruling on marrying an "Ahmadi-Lahori" woman who retains her beliefs, and does her ruling differ from that of a "Qadiyani" woman who believes that Mirza Ghulam [Ahmad] is a prophet?
The "Lahore Ahmadiyya" sect was founded in 1914 CE, following a schism within "Qadianism" due to a dispute over the legacy of its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. The "Lahore Ahmadiyya" is led by Muhammad Ali, a follower of Mirza, who attempted to market Qadianism in a way that avoided explicitly declaring Mirza's prophethood, claiming he was a reformer and renewer, in order to gain the support of Muslims. He distorted the meanings of the Holy Quran in his English translation, aiming to undermine the teachings of Islamic law. Despite their attempts to appear moderate, they do not differ in essence from the original Qadianism, and scholars and jurisprudential councils have unanimously ruled them to be outside the fold of Islam and apostates.
