Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who claims affiliation with a tribe that is not his own?
Answer:
This is haram (forbidden) and not permissible. It is not permissible to claim affiliation with anyone other than your fathers or your tribe. This is severely forbidden and carries a severe warning.
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Ahzab 33:5]. He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said in: "Indeed, We have honored you, indeed We..." [Al-Hujurat 49:13]. "So that you may know one another" means knowing lineage. You must know which tribe you are from, who your father is, and who your mother is. You must know this.
This is obligatory. As for boasting about lineage, this is haram (forbidden) and not permissible. But knowing lineage is obligatory upon you. There is a difference between knowing lineage so that people know one another and boasting about lineage. This is from the matters of the jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance). Yes.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُواThis is obligatory.
