Marrying a Salafi
Question
My family are trying to set me up as a marriage proposal to my second cousin but he is a salafi. Is there anything I need to know before trying to move forward with this?
Answer
Turn down the proposal. Why get into something which you don't seem to understand.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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