The Ruling on Marrying Non-Arabs and Mawali

Question:
Some people, if a person, for example, has no lineage or noble descent, will not marry his daughter even if she has memorized the Qur'an?

Answer:
These are ordinary matters among people. If he is looked down upon, his people and community may refuse him, they may be disgusted by him, or they may harm him. There is no harm in that, because Arabs, non-Arabs, and mawali may take from one another, or they may not. The matter is sufficient with this, so it is permissible for one to take from the mawali, or from those called Banu Farid, or from al-Hijr. There is no harm if he marries them, associates with them, or takes them as friends for the sake of their faith and their mindfulness of Allah. This is the truth, because religion looks to Allah, who equalizes the non-Arab, the mawla, the Arab, the Qurashi, the Hashimi, and the Qahatani. This is the truth; the entry is based on faith. However, if a Hashimi leaves off marrying a mawla, or a non-Arab woman, out of fear of harm from his people or for other reasons, there is no harm, as long as it is not out of contempt. Yes.
