Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And do not marry Al-Mushrikaat (idolatresses) till they believe (worship Allaah Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (idolatress), even though she pleases you. And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikoon till they believe (in Allaah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolater), even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikoon) invite you to the Fire, but Allaah invites (you) to Paradise and forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember”

[al-Baqarah 2:221]

Allah (SWT) says not to marry those who worship idols, of course this is understandable. Those who worship idols do not believe in Allah (SWT), but are Shia's idol-worshippers? The answer is, no they are not. Many sunnis have been taught to believe that Shia's are idol-worshippers because they pay respect to the past Imams. No Shia worships buildings and materialistic things. This is HARAM. How can anyone say that a Shia is an idol-worshipper. I suggest you speak to Shias and research into their religion more before you say anything next time since Allah said it is haram to speak without insufficient knowledge.

Shia visit Imam's shrines to pay respect as I already said. This is not a compulsary part of religion and it does NOT come before Hajj or the compulary pilgrimage us Muslims must do. It is just like visiting your relatives graves. Is this haram? No, it is not haram to visit your relatives, friends etc graves so why should it be considered haram to visit an Imams shrine? Ok, some Shia get overly upset and start crying because they realise their Imams where of such high status and so close to Allah whereas nowandays there is not many people who are so Mo'men. This is why they cry, but they are NOT worshipping Imams or idols. Within Shia, there are people who clearly do not understand their deen very well and since they are angry over their sins, they beat themselves up. This is wrong and it is not a Shia belief. Only a minority do this and it is not in Shia books to do so.

Shia pray to Allah and Allah only. It is funny how Sunni seem to think that Shia mention ANYTHING at all in their Namaaz about Imam Ali, Husein etc because they do NOT pray Namaaz to them and they do not even mention the Imam's in their Namaaz. Why would they do such? Astagfirullah!! Allah (SWT) said 'worship me and ONLY me' and so this is what Namaaz is for, to worship ALLAH (SWT) AND ONLY! It is HARAM to make false accusations against any other religion without knowing the truth about what they believe. Sunni do this so that they can strengthen their argument about themselves being closer to Allah than ANY other religion that exists and so that no Sunni would convert to Shia.

End of the day, Shia worship Allah (SWT)and Allah (SWT) said it is not haram to marry someone who worship's Allah (SWT). NOBODY is higher than Allah (SWT).

Jazakallah for reading and I hope this helps. Any questions, please ask.

May Allah (SWT) guide us to the right path.

Allahumma sali Allah Muhammad wa ala Muhammad!
