The questioner:
The questioner says: My father, from a long time ago, abandoned his lineage to the Family of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He says: My father, from a long time ago, abandoned his lineage to the Family of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
Abandoned.
The questioner:
My father, from a long time ago, abandoned his lineage to.
The Shaykh:
From what?
The questioner:
My father, from a long time ago, abandoned his lineage to the Family of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and joined the lineage of a Saudi family. Now he and we have wealth and jobs, and a considerable number of families and clans, and it is not possible to change that situation or the nationality. I have heard that he who claims a lineage other than his father’s is cursed. What is our obligation, and what is the ruling? Give us a ruling on my problem and what is your advice?
The Shaykh:
The question is not clear. Where is the questioner? Who is the person asking? This relates to the regulations from one aspect, so it is necessary to refer to the regulations to change this reality from what it is to the correct one, to the correct status. This is from the regulatory aspect. You refer to the civil status authorities, the officials in charge of nationalities.
As for the religious aspect, as the questioner mentioned, it is not permissible for a person to claim a lineage other than his father’s, and he is cursedSunan Ibn Majah 2609Sahih (Darussalam). He must repent to Allah the Exalted and return to the truth and his true lineage, and repent to Allah the Exalted. This is between him and Allah. As for what concerns international regulations, that is referred to the authorities who can correct it. Yes.
