Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In some countries, some tribes do not marry other tribes because they are of lower lineage, smaller in number, or weaker. Does this action fall under the claim of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance in boasting about lineage?
Answer:
Yes, if someone comes to you whose religion and trustworthiness you are pleased with, then marry them to him.[Al-Anfal 8:73] One looks at religion and looks at trustworthiness or character, and does not look at lineage or nobility. Yes.

If you do not do so, there will be fitnah on earth and great corruption.
