Considering the choice of lineage in marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
They say: "Lineage is a sneaky trait from the wife's side." Is this lineage from the mother, or from the maternal uncle?
Answer:
There is no doubt that lineage has a basis, but this hadith is weak. However, lineage has a foundation. It is established in the two Sahihs that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) complaining that his wife had given birth to a black boy who did not resemble her color or his color. He suspected her and offered to disown him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him:Sahih al-Bukhari 1452 He said: Yes. He said: He said: Red. He said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 3478Sahih (Darussalam) meaning black. He said: Yes. He said: He said: Perhaps it is a lineage trait! He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6847.
So lineage has a basis. Likewise, it came in some hadiths regarding the semen that Allah shapes it sometimes like this and sometimes like that. Sometimes the resemblance is to the husband, or the husband resembles the mother, and sometimes the resemblance is to some relatives.
So the conclusion: That this has a basis and a foundation; one should choose good lineage, and good people who are people of religion, goodness, uprightness, and noble character.

Have you got camels?
هل لك من إبل؟What are their colors?
فما ألوانها؟Are there any gray ones among them?
فهل فيها من أورق؟How did that come to them?
فأنى أتاها ذلك؟this child of yours has most probably inherited the color from his ancestors.
لعل ابنك هذا نزعه عرقSo lineage has a basis. Likewise, it came in some hadiths regarding the semen that Allah shapes it sometimes like this and sometimes like that. Sometimes the resemblance is to the husband, or the husband resembles the mother, and sometimes the resemblance is to some relatives.
