The ruling on describing some people’s lineage as lowly

The questioner:
Benefits from the explanation of the book *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim li-Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim* by Ibn Taymiyyah. If, if he refers to any of that, such as insulting people by their lineage, like what you mentioned: “His father is noble” or “His father is lowly” or “He is from such-and-such a tribe,” it is understood. No, it is not understood.

The Shaykh:
It is permissible to say, “His father is lowly.”

The questioner:
He commits a sin if he says, “He is from such-and-such a tribe” or “He is from a tribe” or “He is not from a tribe”; he incurs a sin. But if he only holds it in his heart, he is excused. However, if he speaks it, he has committed something of the morals of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah).

The Shaykh:
If he says it out of disparagement toward the person, he commits a sin by doing so. But if he does not say it out of disparagement, but only for the sake of clarification, then there is nothing wrong with it.
