Question
A Moulana says that if a Hanafi woman marries a Shaafi' man, it is not permissible for her to become a Shaafi', but if a Hanafi man marries a Shaafi' woman, it is waajib for her to become a Hanafi. Is the Moulana correct?
Answer
The Maulana has erred in his opinion. It is not permissible to change one's Math-hab for the sake of one's spouse, whether man or woman.
