The Meaning of Criticizing Lineages
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your brother, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It was mentioned in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that there are four things in my Ummah from the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, and he mentioned among them criticizing lineages. What is the meaning of this term?
Answer:
We say, so-and-so has no lineage, so-and-so is a Bedouin, and so-and-so's lineage is bad. We cast doubt on people's lineages. This is not permissible; it is not permissible to cast doubt on people's lineages and belittle them. Yes. The Honorable Shaykh says that it is not permissible to belittle a Muslim, no matter who he is.[Al-Hujurat 49:13] Did it harm Bilal and Salman that they were not Arabs? They are the best of the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) after the ten promised Paradise. These are Salman and Bilal (may Allah be pleased with them), among the earliest to embrace Islam, and they were Arabs.
