The Ruling on Attacking Lineages
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The issue of shirk (associating partners with Allah), or that one be more zealous in Islam, and you dare to speak of people from Paradise who are attributed with harm and fatigue.
Answer:
Yes, if it is about them, it is what is mentioned, meaning this is an attack on their lineage. As for if it is not about them, then it is a lie and a fabrication that is even more severe. It is not permissible to attack or belittle lineages, and lineages do not benefit a person in the least with Allah. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Hujurat 49:13] He said: [Al-Mu'minun 23:101] So as for [Al-Mu'minun 23:102] even if he were of the lightest lineage among people.
[Al-Mu'minun 23:103] And even if he were of the noblest lineage in this world, lineages have no value with Allah. Rather, the value lies in righteous deeds and the mindfulness of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and because of the harms that result from attacking lineages, and because fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) spreads among people.
And because of the belittling of Muslims, and other such evils. It also leads to a person’s pride in his lineage, because if he attacks the lineage of another, it means that he is proud of his own lineage.

It is not permissible to attack or belittle lineages, and lineages do not benefit a person in the least with Allah. Allah the Exalted said:
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْSo when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَلَا أَنسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا يَتَسَاءَلُونَAnd those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the successful.
فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَBut those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls
وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْAnd because of the belittling of Muslims, and other such evils. It also leads to a person’s pride in his lineage, because if he attacks the lineage of another, it means that he is proud of his own lineage.
