Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is compatibility in lineage a condition for the validity of the marriage contract, such that a person of known lineage does not marry one whose lineage is unknown?
Answer:
This is called compatibility (kafa'ah). This is a matter of compatibility. Marriage is valid with compatibility, even if there is a disparity between them in lineage or status. The contract is valid; it is valid. However, the option (khiyar) belongs to the one who is not satisfied with it. If the husband, the wife, or the woman's guardians are not satisfied with it, they have the option to demand annulment. This is called the option of compatibility. This is a chapter in jurisprudence. Yes.
