Marrying a person whose beliefs are wrong
Question
I'm in a relationship with a Muslim person who is sunni like me but his emaan is a bit wrong also against some things in Islam. I wanted to know if I can marry him? Even if I marry, will it count as a nikaah or not?
Answer
When the imaan is wrong then how can you marry a person whose imaan is not right. A little wrong in imaan is not tolerated and the little wrong can amount to disbelief.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
