The Father's Rejection of the Suitor
A man of good character has proposed to a girl, but her family believes he is a Sufi and opposes the marriage for that reason. What should the girl do in this case, and how can they verify whether he is a Sufi or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Sufism is the spirit of Islam, and it is the correct path to God Almighty. As long as its adherent is committed to the apparent Sharia as outlined in the jurisprudential schools, he is in great good. She should seek the help of virtuous and good people to ensure this marriage takes place. And God knows best.
