Summary
Marriage to an Ibadi spouse is valid because they are still counted among Muslims, even though they are regarded as astray and outside Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jamaah. Some scholars classify the Ibadis as Khawarij, while others disagree. The ruling advises choosing a spouse who holds Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jamaah beliefs, out of concern that deviant creed may influence the spouse and the children.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perkahwinan dengan orang yang bermazhab Ibadi adalah sah kerana mereka masih lagi termasuk dikalangan orang Islam sekalipun mereka sesat.
