Is it permissible for a sayyid [a Hashemite from the descendants of the Prophet (pbuh&hp)] woman to marry a non-sayyid man or for a sayyid man to marry a non-sayyid woman?
It is reported in a hadith, “If someone of suitable religiosity and moral character proposes marriage to you, then you should marry them. Otherwise, it will result in disorder and great corruption in the world.” Therefore, a believer should especially bear this in mind, take into consideration the suitor’s faith and character, and not give importance to other factors that have no significance and are far removed from what Islamic law deems to be critical to the foundations of society.
