Answer
Contemporary Ja'fari Shi'as have beliefs that are inconsistent with the Qur' aan and Ahaadith. Hence, they are not Muslims. Kindly refer to Shi'sim unedited / Unbridgeable Divide at www.ask-imam.com
The Nikah has terminated from the time the 'husband' became a Shi'a.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
