Introduction to the Murshidiyyah Sect

Question
Who are the Murshidiyyah sect? They belong to Islam, but their prayers, fasting, and holidays differ from those of the Sunnis? What is the ruling on marrying them?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The Murshidiya is a sect of extreme Nusayris, which appeared during the French colonial period under colonial sponsorship, and their leader claimed divinity. If it is established that they are not Muslims, then it is not permissible to marry them, and their prayers and fasting are not valid. And God knows best.
