Will definitely pose those questions, so far theres been no negativity shown towards the hanafi madhab, if anything he stated that all the madhabs core beliefs were the same, just minor details in Fiqh were different.

Personally, not sure if marriage is a solution, or if it's the beginning of turmoil. Don't actually believe there is anything such as a 'happy marriage'

I've found hanafi brothers to be just as much devious, so I would say it's a general Islamic problematic issue and not only a salafi issue

Totally agree with that, I think religious beliefs is one thing and akhlaq is another. Being either a Hanbali, Maliki, hanafi, or shafi'i does not exempt a person from having either a good or bad character.

To whomever that disagreed, would really appreciate your views on why you disagree with the posts, not for sake of argument, but for maybe giving a more positive or different outlook, because seriously from what I've seen and heard its not looking so great regardless of religious beliefs.

I didn't rate disagree, but I would disagree with the comment by sister moonlight about marriage. There are happy marriages and there are fairy tales that come true.

It comes down to compatibility. If the partner is compatible, then inshaAllah all will be fine. Please take a look at the premarital questions.

A Salafi will not be compatible with a Madhabi!

What IF the brother is not a salafi, for all we know he maybe Shafi'i.

However from my understanding a madhabi can still be a salafi?

How can we differentiate between salafi and shafi Fiqh and aqeeda when we dont have knowledge of either, the brother studied in Egypt, and and states he is of shafi'i madhab.

Will get more information on what books he studied I think that should determine something, but he is very vague which makes things difficult.

does anyone know which scholars and books salafi brothers tend to follow?

assalaamu 'alaykum sister,
the need for caution is absolutely necessary. Many young people tend to disregard the salafi issue but i have known a woman who married a revert brother who could not make up his mind. At times he was following hanafi fiqh and other times he would say he was "Qur'an and sunnah" only and bring up issues like 8 taraweeh and postures of salah, wudhu etc. Eventually he left her and the three children, very sad situation.

Normally I find the name of Shaykh al-Albani comes up sooner or later. I've found the salafi inclined sisters tend to take hadith only if authenticated by the Shaykh.

"Marriage is my Sunnah, whoever disregards my Sunnah is not from amongst us" (Ibn Majah)

You've clearly had a bad marriage previously or have experienced a family member go through a bad marriage. But don't say that a beloved Sunnah of the prophet (saw) is the beginning of turmoil. I disliked your post for that filthy statement of yours.

Before considering marriage you need to sort your issues out. I have read many times that marriage can be Makrooh in cases like yours who doesn't even know why she's getting married. From your words it seems like you want to marry as it's some sort of solution to something?

First you're asking about Salafis as their madness has destroyed many women (marriages). Then you're saying that Hanafis can be just as devious? Are you talking about Aqeeda and Fiqh or general character? Coz none of the two have anything to do with the other.

I don't think your main issues are with Salafism.

For "totally agreeing" with Moonlight's post I assume. But I didn't rate disagree on your post. I should, but didn't

Thanks for your analysis, when I used the word 'risk' 'turmoil' it was a personal statement through personal experience, not an insult towards the sunnah, otherwise I would not even be considering marriage. I disliked your post for misunderstanding what I had written and labelling it as filthy, nevertheless your post was thought provoking.

I haven't mentioned on this thread that salafi brothers have destroyed marriages.

I'm having to consider marriage due to safeguarding my deen. There are two vital elements here, character and deen, initially when I started this thread I wanted to illiminate the fact the possibility that this brother could be salafi, I initially mistakenly indirectly stated that I would not consider a salafi brother, since then the brother has been vague with his responses, but I do want to give benefit of doubt and not jump to negative conclusions.

However now I'm thinking regardless of the brothers beliefs, if his akhlaq and conduct is in order does it matter what his beliefs are?

Trust all the brothers in this thread when they say it does matter regardless of Akhlaq. Akhlaq can be faked and they've faked it on this forum too when they arrived some time ago.

For the sake of your Deen, avoid Salafis like a plague.

For the sake of marriage, don't emphasize too much on character. As far as I'm concerned, Deen is character.

In that case I would have to clarify whether he is salafi or not first, like some of the advices already given on this thread, will indirectly find out regarding number of rakats prayed in taraweeh, I think that would be the main give away.

IF the brother is true in his claim of being shafi'i, then there would be no major religious conflict between the two madhabs right?

That's about right. The brother was quick to give you a dislike without even considering what you were saying, so I give him a dislike.

It's true that marriage now a days has become a risk or turmoil, not saying so cos of its being sunnah, but cos people have made it so.

My father have had two marriages both are unsuccessful, not saying the marriages are ended, but my parents aren't happy, there's no peace of mind and heart!
At the beginning my elder sister also had to suffer a lot, but now Alhamdulillah she's happy. May Allah always keep her happy.

But I've seen lots of truly failed marriages around me so I understand what you were saying, and I'm really afraid of marriage!
