Sayyid Girl Marrying non Sayyid

[ummtaalib]

Question

 

Can a Sayyid (descendants of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) girl get married to a non Sayyid boy? If not, then please give an explanation in light of the Quran and sunnah.

 

Answer

 

There is no rule or law in Islam that prohibits a non-sayyid from marrying a girl of the sayyid family. However, the condition is that the sayyida girl has to obtain permission from her wali before she can marry a non-sayyid. If she marries such a person without the wali’s consent, the nikah will not be valid. It will only be valid if the wali or the guardian of the girl gives permission.

Question

Can the syed muslim sunni female marriage with a person who is not a syed but sunni Muslim?

Answer

(Fatwa: 749/622/B=1432)

The scholars of Fiqh have considered the account of kufu from the side of girl i.e. the boy whom the girl is marrying should be of the same kufu (status) or superior to the girl. But if the girl belongs to a Sayyid family then it shall not be lawful for her to marry a non-Sayyid boy without the permission of her guardian. And if she does so, her guardians shall have the right to terminate the nikah.
