Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I would like to marry my daughter to a student of knowledge, but my community did not agree because they see that it is not suitable in terms of lineage, and they want me to marry her to an unlearned man. What is the solution in that? And what is your advice to me? If this leads to corruption, evil, and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)
Answer:
Between you and your tribe and your paternal cousins, averting harm takes precedence over seeking benefit. Yes.
