Question

Are Muslims allowed to marry Salafis? Is Salafism allowed in Islam, and is the person considered a Muslim?

Answer

One’s Nikah with a Salafi will be valid as they are Muslims who believe in Tawheed and the Risaalat of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. However, they are a deviated sect who misinterpret many matters of Deen, hence one is advised to refrain from marrying them as they try to influence others to follow their understanding of Deen.
