Question:
Asalaam Alaikom
I met a mureed of Sheikh Nazim who was a 42yr old Syed man,was well spoken in deen.He was looking for marriage.Because he was a syed and had so much knowledge about Islam I trusted him and moved out of town to be with him.Its been 5months and no marriage,hes a drug addict he does nothing but feeds his drug addiction all day.I buy food cook,clean for him. he,his mother threatened me that he is a Syed and if I don’t do what he says I will be cursed.I dont want to sin no more.I have made a mistake but my intentions were to get married to him and become a follower of Sheikh Nazim.I only fell for the deen islam he knew.How can I get out of this safely I do suffer with mental illness, he said he would help me through Sheikh Nazim, but he lied.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Being a Syed cannot make what is haram, halal, just as being a “murid” is not guarantee of character. There is no such curse, so leave him immediately and look for someone truthful and be sure to have nikah before living with him.
