Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam

It is forbidden, and actually, according to some scholars it is misguidance, to change from being a Sunni to a Shi'ah.

The Shi'ahs claim to have their own school of thought, alongwith their own beliefs in relation to the Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, in relation to His Companions, and in relation to His Final Book. In fact, their are so many sects that have arisen from the Shi'ah group, that each and every one of them hold their own beliefs.

In summary, to steer away from the ahl-as-Sunnah, and in becoming a Shi'ah, it is haram, as the essence of your Iman, Islam, and Ihsan will all be changed.


Jazak'allah for your question.
