Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: It is reported from 'Umar that he said, “Marry foreign women and you will have fine children,” meaning marry a non-Arab woman in the hope of having a fine child. Do we say that this statement is incorrect because of the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Is this established from 'Umar? It is not established from 'Umar.
Answer:
In a report they narrate or mention, “Marry foreign women and do not intermarry,” meaning do not weaken the children, and this also has no basis.
