Becoming a shia

· 4 Rajab 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have committed zina twice. I repented once after the first time and made the mistake a second time. I'm not sure if my repentance will be accepted by Allah Ta'ala. After I committed the crimes I became a Shia Muslim. Have I taken the wrong path? I really need help.

Answer

You cannot be a shia and Muslim. It is either shia or Muslim. One who becomes a shia is out of Islam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
