In the name of Allaah
Recently I’ve noticed a trend among Arab Muslim families, especially those living in the West, where they allow their daughters to get married to non-Arab men.
Yes, it is true, I am not making this up.
How disgusting!
Yes, I know that it is not haraam to do so, but neither is rubbing feces on your face! Would you do that as well?
Brothers and Sisters, our deen is clear. It is recommended for people to marry someone who is their kafa’a (religiously suitable match), and non-Arab men are NOT a suitable match for Arab women.
This is well-established in our faith. Read, for example, my previous post about how Arabs are the most superior of all races. But if that isn’t enough, read what our worthy scholars have told us about this matter. We see the following regarding the kafa’a for marriage in the classic Shafi’i manual of Islamic law titled ‘Umdat as-Salik wa ‘Uddat an-Nasik (Reliance of the Traveller and Tools of the Worshipper):
والكفاءةُ في: النسَبِ والدِّينِ والحريةِ والصَّنعةِ وسلامة العيوبِ المُثْبِتَةِ للخِيار، فلا يُكافئ العجميُّ عربيةً، ولا غيرُ قُرَشيٍّ قُرشيَّةً، ولا غيرُ هاشميٍّ أو مُطَّلبيٍّ هاشميةً أو مطَّلبيةً، ولا فاسقٌ عفيفةً، ولا عبدٌ حرةً، ولا العتيقُ أو من مسَّ آباءَهُ رِقٌّ حرةَ الأصلِ، ولا ذو حِرفَةٍ دنيئةٍ بنتَ ذي حِرفةٍ أرفعَ، كخياطٍ بنتَ تاجرٍ، ولا معيبٌ بعيبٍ يُثْبِتُ الخِيارَ سليمةً منهُ، ولا اعتبارَ باليسارِ والشيخوخةِ، فمتى زوَّجها بغَيْرِ كُفءٍ بغَيرِ رضاها ورِضا الأولياءِ الذينَ هم في درَجتهِ فالنِّكاحُ باطلٌ، وإن رَضُوا أو رضيَتْ فليسَ للأبعدِ اعتراضٌ.
(Taken from the section of Kafa’a in the chapter of Nikaah in the text)
Translation: Kafa’a (Suitability in marriage for a female) is in the lineage (ancestry of the man), and in religiousness, and his being a free man (not a slave), and in his profession, and his being free of defects that can cause the annulment of the marriage. And the ajami (non-Arab) is NOT suitable for an Arab woman, and a non-Qurayshi is NOT suitable for a Qurayshi woman (Quraysh was the tribe of the Holy Prophet (S)), nor is a non-Hashimi or non-Muttalabi suitable for a Hashimi or Muttalabi woman (Hashimites are the members of the clan to which the Holy Prophet (S) belonged to, and Muttalabites are the descendants of the grandfather of the Holy Prophet (S)). Nor is an immoral man suitable for a virtuous woman, nor is a slave suitable for a free woman, nor is a freed slave or one whose ancestors were touched by slavery suitable for a (free) woman whose ancestors were free. Nor is a man of a lowly profession suitable for the daughter of someone with a noble profession, such as a tailor wanting to marry a tradesman’s daughter.
So we see that the following are NOT kafa’a (suitable for marriage) for women:
- Non-Arab men for Arab women
- Non-Qurayshi man for a Qurayshi woman
- Non-Hashimi or non-Muttalabi for a Hashimi or Muttalabi woman
- Sinful man for virtuous a woman
- A slave or a freed slave for a free woman
- A free man but one whose ancestors might have been slaves for a free woman whose ancestors were not slaves
- A man with a lowly profession for a woman whose father has a noble profession
Brothers and Sisters, your deen is not a game. Do not ignore the instructions of our scholars who labored long and hard for our benefit and left us with such treasures. As for this book, you might be pleased to know that there exists a partial translation of this work in English as well, which you can read more about here or here. The translator included the Arabic text I’ve quoted above in the book (pages 523-524), but did not translate it into English. It seems that he is also one of these “modern Muslims” who stoop low to ingratiate the Western kuffaar by ignoring the teachings of our Muslim scholars.
So I warn you again, do not ignore your deen for the sake of worldly desires or to please the kuffaar Westerners, and keep your daughters and sisters away from non-Arab men, descendants of slaves, and those in lowly professions.
But that is only if you are Arab. If you do not belong to this superior race, then these conditions do not apply to you, so do with your women as you please.

Yeah but Rima Fakih is pretty hot…
She will be hotter in Hell! You can join her there.
But what if I became a Muslim?
The majority of the jurists do not permit such a marriage even if you do become Muslim. Only Imam Malik allowed a non-Arab man to marry an Arab woman. So you better become Maliki and hope that whore Rima Fakih becomes one too.
These Arabs are in the same time of ignorance they were at the time of the advent of Islam.
They have reverted to the same Kufr and Shirk.
They were Masters when they were Mushrikeen………..they are the same Masters even today.
They consider Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, etc. muslims their slaves and are not ready to give them the status they deem good for themselves.
They are the worst of Munafiqeen.
9:97 The desert Arabs are harder in rejection and hypocrisy, and more likely to ignore the Limits that God has revealed to His messenger. God is Knower, Wise.
Alhamdulillah the Hanafis apply the rules of compatibility to non-Arabs also.
However, if non-Arabs feel dishonour of family to marry a woman other than their own casts, the family lineage will also be considered in compatibility with other aspects. Since, Kafaat (special compatibility) is considered to get rid of humiliation. And respect and shame are based on Urf (practice of society). (Raddul-Muhtaar Ala Ad-Durril-Mukhtaar 2:344)
http://jaamiahamidia.wordpress.com/2007/07/04/the-wisdom-behind-kufwu-in-marraige/
I come from an ethnic Kashmiri family and my father would rather die than let any of his daughters and sisters marry outside the race.
I agree, sister. Unfortunately so many Muslims these days are unaware even of the very notion of kufw in marriage, even though our scholars have explained it repeatedly in their books. For example, Imam Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi states explicitly in his al-Umdah fi al-Fiqh, in the section of Wilayat an-Nikaah (on page 90 – PDF download) that:
وليس لولي امرأة تزويجها بغير كفئها، والعرب بعضهم لبعض أكفاء، وليس العبد كفئاً لحرة ولا الفاجر كفئاً لعفيفة
Translation: The wali (guardian) of the woman cannot marry her to someone who is not a suitable match for her. And Arabs are suitable matches for each other. And a (male) slave is not a suitable match for a free woman, nor is an evil-doer a suitable match for a virtuous woman.
Screenshot from the PDF:
Insha’Allaah more and more people will start paying attention to the teachings of our Ulemaa.
Jazakalah Khair brother/sister.
Also the Hanafi ulema regard the revert and son of a revert as not being compatible to a Muslim woman whose father and/or grandfather were Muslims. That is another area which is being disregarded completely by modern Muslims whose inner hearts reflect Western ideals.
There is a Muslim forum called Ummah Forum. On it there was a brother who posted under the username of ”Repentant”. He got banned for quoting Imam Nawai’s Minhaj ul Talibeen about the rules of kafaat (compatibility).
You can access that thread here: http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?397863-Women-Should-Marry-Suitable-Matches
And the reaction of other Muslim posters was depressing to say the least, except for very few.
SubhanAllaah! What has the ummah come to when Muslims ban you for quoting Imam Nawawi! You’re right, Imam Nawawi has been very clear about this issue in his Minhaj. He says:
وَخِصَالُ الْكَفَاءَةِ: سَلَامَةٌ مِنْ الْعُيُوبِ الْمُثْبِتَةِ لِلْخِيَارِ وَحُرِّيَّةٌ، فَالرَّقِيقُ لَيْسَ كُفْئًا لِحُرَّةٍ، وَالْعَتِيقُ لَيْسَ كُفْئًا لِحُرَّةٍ أَصْلِيَّةٍ، وَنَسَبٌ، فَالْعَجَمِيُّ لَيْسَ كُفْءَ عَرَبِيَّةٍ، وَلَا غَيْرُ قُرَشِيٍّ قُرَشِيَّةً، وَلَا غَيْرُ هَاشِمِيٍّ وَمُطَّلِبِيٍّ لَهُمَا، وَالْأَصَحُّ اعْتِبَارُ النَّسَبِ فِي الْعَجَمِ كَالْعَرَبِ، وَعِفَّةٌ فَلَيْسَ فَاسِقٌ كُفْءَ عَفِيفَةٍ، وَحِرْفَةٌ فَصَاحِبُ حِرْفَةٍ دَنِيئَةٍ، لَيْسَ كُفْءَ أَرْفَعَ مِنْهُ، فَكَنَّاسٌ وَحَجَّامٌ وَحَارِسٌ وَرَاعٍ وَقَيِّمُ الْحَمَّامِ لَيْسَ كُفْءَ بِنْتِ خَيَّاطٍ، وَلَا خَيَّاطٌ بِنْتَ تَاجِرٍ أَوْ بَزَّازٍ، وَلَا هُمَا بِنْتَ عَالِمٍ وَقَاضٍ، وَالْأَصَحُّ أَنَّ الْيَسَارَ لَا يُعْتَبَرُ، وَأَنَّ بَعْضَ الْخِصَالِ لَا يُقَابَلُ بِبَعْضٍ، وَلَيْسَ لَهُ تَزْوِيجُ ابْنِهِ الصَّغِيرِ أَمَةً، وَكَذَا مَعِيبَةٌ عَلَى الْمَذْهَبِ، وَيَجُوزُ مَنْ لَا تُكَافِئُهُ بِبَاقِي الْخِصَالِ فِي الْأَصَحِّ.

(Alternative link: http://shamela.ws/browse.php/book-12096/page-236)
Translation:
The characteristics of suitability (kafa’a) are the following:
Absence of permanent (bodily) defects
And freedom: The male slave is not suitable for a free woman. And the freed slave is not suitable for a woman who is free since birth (hurratun asliyyah).
And genealogy: The non-Arab male (A’jamiy) is not suitable for an Arab woman, nor is a non-Qurayshi male (suitable) for a Qurayshi woman, nor a non-Hashimi or non-Muttalibi male for a Hashimi or Muttalibi female. Rather the consideration of genealogy among non-Arabs is to be taken into account just as it is with Arabs.
And virtuousness: An evil-doer man is not suitable for a virtuous/chaste woman.
And occupation (job/profession): A male with a lowly occupation is not suitable for a woman whose rank (in society) is higher than his. A sweeper, a cupper (or barber), a doorkeeper (or guard), a shepherd, a person who works at a bathhouse (hummaam) are not suitable for the daughter of a tailor. And a tailor is not suitable for the daughter of a merchant or clothier. And neither of those are suitable for the daughter of a scholar or judge.
Difference in ease of circumstances (wealth) are not considered (in suitability for marriage).
Defects in certain characteristics (of suitability) are not compensated by (excellence in) other characteristic.
(As for men) A man cannot marry his minor (sagheer) son to a slave woman, for this is dishonorable for the religion (madhab), but it is allowed for him to marry his son to a woman even if the remaining suitability conditions (mentioned above) do not match his.

May Allaah guide us all.
Disgusting! They keep quoting scholar/imam X and imam Y but stay away from the Quran.
Assalamualaykum Warahmatullah Wabarakatahu.
Yes it is truly sad the state of affairs of Muslims. I mean, take a look at this forum and see how Muslims in the West are calling for inter-racial marriages. http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?411981-Would-you-allow-your-children-to-marry-outside-of-their-ethnicity/page3
I would not be so concerned if this wasn’t the largest mainstrean Muslim forum and wasn’t corrupting every Muslim mind passing by.
Another saddening trend is the denial of the wali’s rights over his virgin daughter. Now I don’t know whether you will agree with me on this one or not, nut according to the madhabs of Imam Shafi’i and Imam Malik the wali may marry off his virgin daughter without her consent unless he marries her outside of kafaat and with some other conditions. Yet we have Muslims completely denying a practise which has been proven from the Quran, Sunnah and the practise of the pious predecessors. Of course there are different opinions over this issue amongst scholars themselves so thats ok, but what is not okay is when we have ignorant LAYMEN campaigning against this practise which is often beneficial for the girls themselves as virgins often lack real insight into men and who is better qualified than a male wali who has proper hindsight in these matters for the arrangement of a suitable husband?
Islamic Awakening Forums on the other hand is full of proper students of knowledge and alhamdulillah I learnt about the wisdom behind many of these rulings from there, but unfortunately it is not as oft-frequented or popular a forum as Ummah forum which is full of laymen discussing the deen over dinner and deceiving unsuspecting newcomers into innovation.
We need more knowledgeable brothers/sisters going to major Muslim sites and forums, including Ummah Forums, which often prove solid platforms for communicating socially vital messages to Muslims, and authentically teaching these people about the tenets of our deen as I think small but beautiful blogs like this one do not have a wide extension on the internet and are thus unable to spread the message.
I believe that with a pragmatic, sincere, realistic and polite approach you may succeed in spreading such beneficial knowledge to Muslims through online media. I would highly recommend you to start with Ummah Forums, the largest online Muslim forum in the West.
Sister, I absolutely agree with you. I will inshaAllaah write a longer blog post on the issue of the Islamic right of the father to marry his virgin, minor daughter off to a suitable match without her consent, but for now I’m just posting a few rulings from out ulema about this:
Imam Nawawi says in Minhaj al-Talibin, volume 1:
وَلِلْأَبِ تَزْوِيجُ الْبِكْرِ صَغِيرَةً أَوْ كَبِيرَةً بِغَيْرِ إذْنِهَا، وَيُسْتَحَبُّ اسْتِئْذَانُهَا، وَلَيْسَ لَهُ تَزْوِيجُ ثَيِّبٍ إلَّا بِإِذْنِهَا
Imam Nawawi: It is allowed for the father to marry off his minor or adult virgin daughter without her consent, but it is recommended to obtain her consent to do so. As for a non-virgin, he (the father) cannot marry her off except with her consent.
Imam Marghinani says in al-Hidaya, volume 1:
ولا يجوز للولي إجبار البكر البالغة على النكاح
…
والولاية على الصغيرة لقصور عقلها وقد كمل بالبلوغ
Imam Marghinani: [Imam Abu Hanifah said:] “It is not allowed for the waliy (the legal guardian of the female) to compel an adult virgin to marry.”
…
However the authority of the waliy (to compel) a minor virgin to marry is due to her reduced intellect, which comes to completion upon her reaching adulthood (buloogh).
Imam Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi says in al-Umdah fi al-Fiqh (PDF file):
وللأب تزويج أولاده الصغار ذكورهم وإناثهم وبناته الأبكار بغير إذنهم ويستحب استئذان البالغة
Imam Ibn Qudamah: The father is allowed to marry off his minor children, male and female, and his virgin daughters (minor or adult) without their consent. And it is recommended to obtain the consent of the adult virgin (before marrying her off).
Imam Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani says in his Risalah (PDF file):
وللأب إنكاح ابنته البكر بغير إذنها وإن بلغت وإن شاء شاورها
Imam Ibn Abi Zayd: The father is allowed to marry off his virgin daughter without her consent, even if she has reached adulthood. But he can consult her (before marrying her off) if he so wishes

So, Modernists and Western Muslims can deny it all they like, but Alhamdulillaah there is `ijma (consensus) on this issue among our scholars. May allaah guide us all.
Sister im not alim or anything as for arab race is indeed superior but you must know why there are reasons for that and one must understand properly the reason is arab race is better is because they are mainly ahlus sunnah and language there dawah but this doesnt not cause arab to boast there race so if a arab leaves all this then indeed he have left this excellence and if non arab adopts this then he becomes superior to him no doubt so an arab can surpass non arab and non arab can surpass arab as for marriage ill look into details for non arab with arab by 4 imams may Allah have mercy on them but as for non arab such as kashmiris where u said your father will die but not let u marry non kashmiri this is wrong and ill post u islamic ruling
Asslamoalaikum brother,
I wish to apologise for quoting the texts of classical scholars without your express consent. There is a facebook page called ‘The Muslim Show’ and today they published a cartoon on this topic dealing with inter-racial marriages and the view they purported in it was against the views of numerous classical scholars. I was highly angered by the message they were trying to put across so I used the quotes you provided me.
Here is the provocative cartoon, and the comments by most Muslim members of the audience were truly sad. This only highlights the extent of ignorance amongst most Muslim laymen. We need more awareness raised on this topic.
Waalaikumussalam
This is the most horrifying post I have ever read in my life. You preach love and peace, yet your words are beyond hateful and frightening. I am really upset that people like you live in this world.
Sister you should be ashamed of yourself for calling the teachings of our ulema “horrifying”. They spent their entire lives studying the religion so they can teach it to us, and this is how you repay them! If you did not look like my mother, I would have had harsher words for you.
These Ulama are Mushrik and Kafir who defy Allah’s Quran stoneheartedly.
So simple….!
And see……it is so easy becoming a Mushrik and a Kafir…..just go against Allah’s Quran and take the Ulama as rabbs.(9: 31)

Disgusting post im lebanese girl and im married to a Bengali and were very happy together who gives you the right to speak on behalf of arab women? you need to take several seats interracial marriage is a beautiful thing
Al-Islaam is not disgusting. It is YOU who are disgusting! Your marriage is disgusting! And your kids will be disgusting!
Bro, relax, you shouldn’t be saying this!! Chances are just like your typical interracial marriage story, she got married to this Bangali because she had fallen in love with him because she was engaged in a pre-marital relationship with him and have rebelled out and caused major heartache in her family. Now if she starts involving deen as to why she got married to this bangali, by saying Islam condemns racism and she starts to get carried away with her emotions and blindly glorify interracial marriages, then you can talk back to her and put her at her place.
Yes, I agree with you, there is Fiqh Al-kafa’a when it comes to marriages, I aked a local imam about the lineage part, and he said it’s true, but it’s always better for the parents to accept to marry their Arab daughter to this brown because she might very well commits zina with him….THE ROOT CAUSE OF INTERRACIAL MARRIAGES (Arab – Non-Arab) BETWEEN MUSLIMS IS PRE-MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS.
Youare not islamic virtues………..you are successfully defaming Islam.
The Arabs Munafiqeen are the same masters they were preIslamic time…..but they lick the feet of Americans and Europeans.
Wow so your calling a girl who happens to be in a interracial marriage “disgusting” and my kids as being “disgusting” your a horrible so called “preacher” your website is downright degrading and very sexist can you tell me why this doesnt apply to arab men?? Have you even bothered to read prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sermon??”“There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab” i hope you ponder over your pathetic head his beautiful quote its a shame people like you who preach negativity exists. Your going to have to accept interracial marriage is on the rise amongst arab women. Just get on with your life and move on and mind your own business. Salam.
Sorry but it is not ME calling your marriage disgusting, it is the Imaams of our Ummah!
Imaam Abu Haneefah (RA) has stated:
وقال أبو حنيفة لا تكافئ العجم العرب ولا العرب قريشا
“A non-Arab is not suitable in marriage for an Arab, nor is a non-Qurayshi Arab (suitable) for a Qurayshi.”
http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?idfrom=4495&idto=4500&bk_no=15&ID=4396
Imaam Mawsili (RA) mentions in his Kitaab al-Ikhtiyaar:
فقريش بعضهم أكفاء لبعض لا يكافئهم غيرهم من العرب ، والعرب بعضهم أكفاء لبعض لا يكافئهم الموالي ، قال – عليه الصلاة والسلام – : ” قريش بعضهم أكفاء لبعض ، والعرب بعضهم أكفاء لبعض ” ، وقال – عليه الصلاة والسلام – : ” والموالي بعضهم أكفاء لبعض “
And the Quraysh are suitable in marriage for each other, but non-Qurayshi Arabs are not suitable in marriage to Qurayshis. And the Arabs are suitable in marriage for each other, but the non-Arab clients are not suitable in marriage with them (the Arabs), as the Prophet – blessings and peace be upon him – has said: “The Quraysh are suitable in marriage for each other, and the Arabs are suitable in marriage with each other.” And he (the Prophet) has also said: “The non-Arab clients (mawaaliy) are suitable for each other.”
http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?idfrom=347&idto=348&bk_no=91&ID=172
And Imaam Nawawi (RA) says in his Minhaj at-Talibeen that:
فالعجمي ليس كفء عربية ولا غير قرشية ولا غير هاشمي ومطلبي لهما
And the non-Arab male is not suitable in marriage for an Arab female, nor is a non-Qurayshi male or a non-Hashimi male suitable in marriage for a Qurayshi or Hashimi female
http://shamela.ws/browse.php/book-12096/page-236
So sadly for you the Imaams of our Ummah are clear about this. Just because you rushed into “marriage” with a non-Arab without consulting the teachings of our Imaams, doesn’t make it all right. Who should Muslims be listening to? You? Or the Imaams of our Ummah? If the teachings of al-Islaam are too hard for you to follow, then perhaps you should consider switching your religion to Christianity or Hinduism or Veganism.
So you understand Ijmaa scholarly consensus) then? Well understand that the consensus amongst the scholars is that the original Arabs were dark brown and jet black in colour. So how did these Arabs become white all of a sudden? Why did many of the sahabah may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him free and marry non Arab women? Why did the Prophet Mohammed may Allah’s peace be upon him marry an Egyptian woman. Why did the sahaabah free slaves and marry them? Why did they have many children with non Arab women?
Anyway i noticed what seemed to be a racist comment about colour. When the Prophet Mohammed said he was sent to the RED AND THE BLACK , what did he mean? Who were the Reds and who were the blacks?

When it comes to interracial marriages however, in the great vast majority of the time it is the boy and the girl who find each other on their own, whether through university, work and so on, Islmically there is nothing wrong with that, especially that nowadays interacting with the opposite gender is virtually unavoidable and Islmically we are allowed to interact with the opposite gender, it just that we must remain formal, modest and any unnecessary conversation must be avoided. Most of the time, sadly this does not apply nowadays. There are stories here in my community that I have personally witnessed, where the guy talks to a girl secretly without approaching her family, it’s as if they get secretly “engaged”. A Canadian convert is currently dating a Lebanese girl, I told him that what he’s doing is not correct and that he should approach her family, his response was: “I will not approach her father until I make sure that we’re both in deeply in love and attached to one another, that way, in case I get refused, it’ll be very easy for me to convince her to go see the Imam.” Another story, a Persian guy was dating a Pakistani girl and it took him 1 year not to convince her family, but convince the girl to walk out of her family’s home and go see the Imam…and I have many other stories to tell. As you probably know, if the guardian refuses to marry his daughter off for no valid reason, the girl reserves the right to go see an Imam, but this privilege is used and abused beyond anyone’s imagination. Girls nowadays go see the imams because they have developed very strong feelings for their boyfriend. she want to marry her boyfriend because she has fallen in love and uses Islamic privileges for that. Some Imams have publically announced that they will never conduct such a marriage, because chances are the girl is lying, she tells the imam “my father refused someone of a good deen and character based on race” where in reality, she’s using the imam as a means to marry her lover…Trust me I know all the tips and tricks girls pull off nowadays. There is no doubt that there’s an ugly and very dark side of interracial marriages.
The reason why I’m putting interracial marriages under the spotlight is because the topic of this video is about those marriages. The issue here is, you have famous Muslim public speakers who get carried away with their emotions on how Islam condemns racism and they start to blindly glorify and over glorify interracial marriages and get all superficial and rosy with their arguments. Yet at the same time, the great vast majority of interracial marriages are nothing but love marriages and have nothing to do with deen. For the longest time I was asking myself as to why those public speakers glorify and over glorify interracial and get the Muslims all hyped up and excited on how Islam condemns racism and completely ignore the fact that the ROOT CAUSE OF INTERRACIAL MARRIAGES IS PRE-MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS!! How come they never talk about the Islamic rulings on gender interaction, how to approach a potential spouse within the Islamic etiquettes a that pre-marital relationships is something condemned in Islam DURING AN INTERRACIAL MARRIAGES GLORIFICATION LECTURE??? Don’t you think that there’s a misbalance here?? That is the reason why I’m putting interracial marriages under the spotlight.
In the Shafi’i, Hanafi and hambali schools of thoughts, there’s something called “Fiqh Al Kafa’a” when it comes to marriages. In case you’re a non-Arab, Kafa’a translates into Qualifications or in terms of marriage, suitability/compatibility. Without getting into too much fiqh, basically Kafa’a only applies for the Muslim women; it’s when she and her guardian look at the man to see whether or not he’s a match for the girl. They are more than one condition, for example in the shafi’i school of thought:
1- A slave man is not a match for a free woman (this obviously does not apply today)
2- Social Status/wealth, for example: a man with a high school degree is not a match for the woman who has a Ph.D. The example mentioned in the reliance of the traveller is: a son of a tailor is not a match for a daughter of a merchant.
3- Religiousness: A corrupt man is no match for a righteous woman
4- Lineage: A non-Arab man is not a match for an Arab woman
5- A man with a physical and/or mental illness is not a match for a healthy woman
If the girl chooses to marry a non-suitable match, then her father reserves the right to hold the Kafa’a on her behalf and refuse her potential spouse. If the father chooses to marry his daughter off to a non-suitable match, then the girl has obviously the right to refuse, the girl can refuse for any reason suitable or not. On the other hand, if the father accepts to marry his daughter off to a non-suitable match and the daughter accepts, then the marriage is perfectly permissible, but the father will be seen as someone negligent.
Let’s concentrate on number 4, “lineage”. When I read that, I was surprised since everyone around me shouts from the top of their lungs “Racism this, Racism that” I called a local sheikh, and asked him about the lineage condition, his reply was: “Yes it is true, an Arab father can refuse a non-Arab based on race, but nowadays it’s better to accept, because if not, the girl can very well commit zina with her “friend””. This is actually a known issue, I’m not going to disrespect you by calling you “ignorant”, but I encourage you to read further about fiqh al Kafa’a and just for fun, google “parents refusing marriage in islam” or something within those lines, you’ll notice that the people asking the online “imam” or moonlight scholar that they want to marry someone they love and the parents are refusing. Yes, they literary say “love”
Let me elaborate further on this: “We got married because Islam condemns racism and we place deen above culture”
1- One can marry outside his or her culture and yet still be racist and still stereotype towards other people of different ethnicities. I have personally witnessed it before, yes they are Muslims who marry outside of their culture who are at the same time RACIST!!
2- Placing deen above culture or above any worldly thing does not automatically translate into “marrying outside of your culture”. Believe it or not, but marrying someone religious from your culture is a possibility. Some will say “I know people who got married from their culture and their marriage have failed because they didn’t take deen into consideration and I know people who married outside of their culture and live happy because they have taken deen into consideration.” Both of these scenarios are true, but trust me when I tell you, there’s a flip side to it.
Offensive? I know what I said was harsh, but it’s the absolute truth. What you need to understand is, people who are open to the idea to marry outside of their culture or have married outside of their culture, describe themselves as being “Open minded” and part of being open minded is to accept reality for what it is without taking any offense. Now, if they are interracial marriage couples who read what I wrote, technically they shouldn’t get offended because I’m saying the truth.
Waslam.
Alhamdulillah may Allah SWT reward you for this website of yours.
There are many more Ahaadith which elaborate on the superiority of the Arabs in all aspects. There is the Hadiith where the Prophet SAWS says that the Muslims must love the Arabs because he is an Arab and the Arabic language is superior to all other languages. Please post more on these Ahaadith and promote your website on Islamic forums.
Ignorant fools are spreading lies too about Female circumcision and even dare to call it “female genital mutilation”: when the scholars have not only said it was not Haraam but even made it Waajib for the Muslims especially according to the Madhhab of Imam Shaafi’i RA. It says so in Reliance of the Traveler that both male and female must be circumcised while the Munaafiqiin spread lies that it is not part of Islaam to please the Kuffaar westerners. Especially that Raafidii fool Reza Aslan who claimed it was an African practice! They are making a joke of our Diin.
So many Munaafiqiin especially those from South Asia are spreading lies about how Arabs are not superior. I was shocked to see ignorant Pakistanis on a popular forum defence.pk complaining about how non-Arab men could not marry Arab women in Saudi and complaining about how Arabs regard themselves as superior. They are ignorant and spreading falsehood and corrupting Islaam.
You must correct their ignorance and vigorously spread the knowledge of Islaam to the Muslims.
where is that hadith post here?
Mr. Admin, publish the comment, do not hide the truth!
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, or of a white man over a black man, or of a black man over a white man, except in terms of taqwa. The people are from Adam, and Adam is from dust.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (3270); classed as hasan by al-Albaani.
Wallaahi you are ignorant like a frog. Do you think that you are the only person who has read this hadeeth? You think the Imaams of our Ummah never read this hadeeth in their entire life? You think Imam Abu Haneefah, Imam Nawawi, Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah are all fools who give fatwas from their pockets?
Astaghfirullaah! YOU are the fool, not them! I have already told you that the hadeeth you mention does not negate the superiority of the race of Arabs over all other races. Read this explanation of this issue by Shaykh Albani (RAH) himself:
فثبت أن الإسلام يعز ويذل بعز أهله وذله سواء كانوا عربا أو عجما ، ” ولا فضل لعربي على عجمي إلا بالتقوى ” ، فاللهم أعز المسلمين وألهمهم الرجوع إلى كتابك وسنة نبيك حتى تعز بهم الإسلام .
بيد أن ذلك لا ينافي أن يكون جنس العرب أفضل من جنس سائر الأمم ، بل هذا هو الذي أؤمن به وأعتقده وأدين الله به – وإن كنت ألبانيا فإني مسلم ولله الحمد – ذلك لأن ما ذكرته من أفضلية جنس العرب هو الذي عليه أهل السنة والجماعة ، ويدل عليه مجموعة من الأحاديث الواردة في هذا الباب منها قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ” إن الله اصطفى من ولد إبراهيم واصطفى من ولد إسماعيل بني كنانة ، واصطفى من بني كنانة قريشا ، واصطفى من قريش بني هاشم واصطفاني من بني هاشم ” .
رواه أحمد ( 4 / 107 ) والترمذي ( 4 / 392 ) وصححه وأصله في ” صحيح مسلم ” ( 7 / 48 ) وكذا البخاري في ” التاريخ الصغير ” ( ص 6 ) من حديث واثلة بن الأسقع ، وله شاهد عن العباس بن عبد المطلب ، عند الترمذي وصححه ، وأحمد ، وآخر عن ابن عمر عند الحاكم ( 4 / 86 ) وصححه .
Shaykh Albani says: Therefore, it is established that Islaam is given glory and is humiliated by the glory of its people and their humiliation, and this is regardless of whether they are Arabs or non-Arabs, since “there is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab except by piety.” So O Allaah! Give glory to the Muslims and inspire them to return to Your Book and the Sunnah of Your Prophet until You give glory through them to al-Islaam.
However, that does not negate the Arab race being better than the race of the rest of all the other nations; rather, this is what I believe in – even though I am Albanian but indeed I am Muslim – praise belongs to Allaah! This is because what I mentioned of the preference of the race of Arab (over others) is that which Ahl as-sunnah wal Jamaa’ah are agreed upon, and the proof for this is a group of narrations about this that are included in this chapter, from among them is the Prophet’s (Peace and Blessings be upon him) statement: “Indeed Allaah granted eminence (istafa) to Bani Kinaanah from the offspring of Ismaa’eel, and granted eminence to Quraysh from Bani Kinaanah, and granted eminence to Bani Haashim from Quraysh, and granted eminence to me among the Bani Haashim.” And this has been narrated by (Imam) Ahmad (bin Hanbal) in volume 4, page 107 of his Musnad, and Imam Tirmidhi in volume 4, page 392 of his Sunan, and it has been authenticated and sourced in Saheeh Muslim, volume 7, page 48. And this is also what (Imam) Bukhari mentions in his Tareekh al Sagheer, page 6, in the hadeeth from Wathilah bin Asqa’, and it is attested by Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (the uncle of the Holy Prophet) by Imam Tirmidhi who has authenticated it, and by (Imam) Ahmad, and another narration from Ibn Umar present in Imam al-Haakim (in his Mustadrak) and is authenticated by him.
And here is the scanned page of Shaykh Albani’s Silsilah, where it is mentioned that Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah also states this same belief of the superiority of Arabs over non-Arabs:
Silsilah ad-Daeefah, volume 1, page 303
Clearly you will not be able to read this because you are ignorant like a frog who cannot read Arabic, so take it to your Masjid’s Imam and ask him to translate it into your language so that your feminist brain can understand it. Wallaahi it is a calamity that people like you pretend to be “Muslim” but at the same time claim that the teachings of Imam Abu Haneefah, Imam Ibn Taymiyyah, Imam Nawawi and Shaykh Albani are “rubbish”. It is YOU who are rubbish.
Tell me, if all races are superior and the only difference is because of taqwaa, then why is Zakaat haraam for the descendents of the Holy Prophet (SAW)? Why did the Holy Prophet say that Zakat is not permissible for his family and descendents, since it is from the “impurities of the people“? And before you start crying like a frog about this not being true, know that this belief is the unanimous consensus of the Imaams of our Ummah (read this fatwa about it: Ruling on giving zakaah to Ahl al-Bayt).
You know why Zakat is haraam for this group? It is as the Prophet (SAW) mentioned; that the Banu Hashim is superior to all other people (including other Arab tribes; so Banu Hashim are kind of like the Arabs of the Arabs, ma’sha’Allaah!). Indeed the Prophet has said:
Saheeh Muslim: http://sunnah.com/muslim/43/1
How much clearer can the Prophet be? He is clearly saying that Banu Kinaanah (Arabs!) have been given eminence over other people. This means that we Arabs are superior to all other races!!
Wallaah, our deen is not “rubbish” (like you are calling it), and our Prophet is not “rubbish” (astaghfirullaah!), and the Imaams of our Ummah are not rubbish. Rather it is YOU who are rubbish! How dare you call our Imaams “rubbish”!! You are not even worth the dirt on the feet of the flies on their shoes! May Allaah (SWT) guide this Umaah towards the deen of our Holy Prophet (SAW).
you post is just rubbish ..
go read ahdith clearly states, an arab has NOOO SUPERIORITY over a NON-ARAB n vice versa, how dare you say that? that arab are superior?
and you quote the text of Imaams RH?
I respect them but dont u know what they said ” if my speech contradicts sunnah & Quran, throw away my teachings “..
maybe they said its not suitable because of cultural differences,
food, country, language e.t.c.
but in the matter of deen, I may go for an arab, as I am a non-arab.
and shame on you for calling ” If you do not belong to this superior race … ”
May Allah open your eyes n clean your heart from this ignorance.
Your non-Arab heart is simply filled with jealousy of us Arabs, but your jealousy and hatred does not matter to us one bit, since we are upon the Sunnah of the Holy Propehet, and you are upon the Sunnah of the feminists! Don’t talk to me about reading hadeeth, when you have never read any yourself. The hadeeth you mention about Arabs not being superior to Arabs is only relevant for when a person is being judged by Islamic law (Sharee’ah). It is NOT about the intrinsic superiority of the race of Arabs over non-Arabs. The Holy Prophet has very clearly explained this superiority, as we can read in the hadeeth in the Saheeh of Imam Muslim:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ الرَّازِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْمٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ، – قَالَ ابْنُ مِهْرَانَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، – حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، شَدَّادٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الأَسْقَعِ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ “ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى كِنَانَةَ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَاصْطَفَى قُرَيْشًا مِنْ كِنَانَةَ وَاصْطَفَى مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَاصْطَفَانِي مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ” .
Wathila b. al-Asqa’ reported:
I heard Allah’s Messenger (S) as saying: Verily Allah granted eminence to Kinana from amongst the descendants of Isma’il [the ancestor of the Arabs] and he granted eminence to the Quraish amongst Kinana, and he granted eminence to the Banu Hashim amongst the Quraish, and he granted me eminence from the tribe of Banu Hashim.
http://sunnah.com/muslim/43/1
So this is not my opinion, but the teachings of RasoolAllaah that you are mocking. This is why Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rah) has directly said in his IqtiDaa’ Siraat al-Mustaqeem that:
فإن الذي عليه أهل السنة والجماعة اعتقاد أن جنس العرب أفضل من جنس العجم عبرانيهم وسريانيهم رومهم وفرسهم وغيرهم وأن قريشا أفضل العرب وأن بني هاشم أفضل قريش وأن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أفضل بني هاشم فهو أفضل الخلق نفسا وافضلهم نسبا
Indeed it is the belief of the Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah that the race of the Arabs is superior to the race of non-Arabs, the Hebrews (Jews), the Syrians (Arameans), the Romans (Europeans), the Persians, and others. And indeed the Quraysh [tribe of the Prophet (S)] is the most superior of the Arabs. And indeed the Banu Hashim [the clan of the Prophet (S)] is the most superior in the Quraysh. And indeed the Prophet, may the Blessings and Peace of Allaah be upon him, is the most superior of the Banu Hashim, for he is the most superior of all creation in his self and in his lineage (ancestry).
http://shamela.ws/browse.php/book-11620#page-408
So it is not my post that you are calling rubbish. It is the hadeeth of RasoolAllaah and the belief of the Imaams of Ahlus Sunnah that you are calling rubbish. Astaghfirullaaah!
May Allaah guide you and your retarded friends to the truth.
UNBELIEVABLE blog and what is sad is some of the people who is agreeing with you ignorant views on how “arabs are the most superior” when in islam NO ONE is superior FYI my husband is non arab he is a black revert and most of my arab friends/family are also married to non arab men i think this blog should be reported
Your black heart will never accept the truth because you got married to non-Arab (probably after doing zina with him like Brother Ghandour mentioned above) thinking you know more about Islam than the Imaams of our Ummaah. But sadly for you, we don’t care about your opinion. We care only about the Deen of Allah, and the Imaams of our Ummaah have clarified it for us.
Shaykh Albaani (RAH) states in his Silsilah ad-Da’eefah:
Translation: Shaykh Albani says: Therefore, it is established that Islaam is given glory and is humiliated by the glory of its people and their humiliation, and this is regardless of whether they are Arabs or non-Arabs, since “there is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab except by piety.” So O Allaah! Give glory to the Muslims and inspire them to return to Your Book and the Sunnah of Your Prophet until You give glory through them to al-Islaam.
However, that does not negate the Arab race being better than the race of the rest of all the other nations; rather, this is what I believe in – even though I am Albanian but indeed I am Muslim – praise belongs to Allaah!

هل هناك ادله علميه على تفوق العرق العربي، و ما المقصود بتفوق العرق العربي في نظرك؟
هل هو تفوق جسدي، ام عقلي
دليل ديني كافياً لي. التفوق هو روحي، ليس عقلي أو جسدي. كما قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله: فإن الذي عليه أهل السنة والجماعة اعتقاد أن جنس العرب أفضل من جنس العجم عبرانيهم وسريانيهم رومهم وفرسهم وغيرهم وأن قريشا أفضل العرب وأن بني هاشم أفضل قريش وأن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أفضل بني هاشم فهو أفضل الخلق نفسا وافضلهم نسبا

Since a child carries 50% of the mother’s genes and50% of the father’s gene, why is it okay for Arbs to procreate (whether through marriage or through slavery) with non-Arab women while if an Arab woman marries a non-Arab it’s like robbing excrement om her face? From the scientific point of view it makes no difference. When Arab men father a child with a non-Arab that child is only half Arab. Since Arabs have enslaved women of all races for centuries and had children with them, how can after so many centuries they claim to be pure Arab?
Arab were themselves enslaved by Mongols, Turks and Then their descendants Turko Mongols for 1000 years. Arab women were commonly traded between Turko Mongol rulers. Read the history. Arab men are weak and cannot defend themselves. Until today they rely on either Al Bakistani or America to train and defend their countries. Most of Arab today don’t even have pure Arab blood since for centuries Arab men were killed and their women give birth to ruling foreigners men.

Wait why is my post about Islam pingbacked to this? My post was made after this was made and I had no knowledge on this site at the time of writing it.
السلام عليكم, my brother, i’m indonesian men, so can i marry arab woman?, شكرا, بارك الله فيك
even if i have something to say,we should not abuse each other,i can see someone was calling another a frog? the salaf among their character is that they are soft spoken when they talk to people,they speak without using Volga words,lets be aware of this as we will account for everything we do or say
you also said something up there that it is not haram for an Arab woman to marry non Arab man,so whats the stress?no need to drag it further,if an arab women accepts a man and her father does as well,then they are good to go
I’ve noticed that Imam Ahmed may Allah have mercy upon him has been used a reference too and if you want to take his opinion that is fine but you would still need to understand something and that is his description and why he didn’t to mix with the a jam who were actually white people from Persia and Rome. So when one makes comments related to colour they should know what the Arabs looked like themselves. The guy says mix with brown complexioned people. Well Imam Ahmed was very dark and by Ibn Hazm understanding he would have been as black as tar. Please read.

قال ابن ذريح العكبري : طلبت أحمد بن حنبل
فسلمت عليه ، وكان شيخا مخضوبا طوالا أسمر شديد السمرة
وعن محمد بن عباس النحوي قال : رأيت أحمد بن حنبل حسن الوجه ، ربعة ، يخضب بالحناء خضابا ليس بالقاني ، في لحيته شعرات سود ، ورأيت ثيابه غلاظا بيضا ، ورأيته معتما وعليه إزار .
Ibn Dharih al-’Ukbari said: “I requested to see Ahmad bin Hambal. So, I greeted him, and he was an old man who dyed his hair. He was tall and extremely dark/ very dark brown to jet black in colour.”Muhammad bin ‘Abbas an-Nahwi said: “I saw Ahmad bin Hambal with a handsome face, well-formed, and dyeing his hair with henna that was not too dark. He had black hairs in his beard, and I saw his clothes extremely white. When I saw him, he was wearing a turban and anizar.”
In Majhooraat Ansaab Al Arab , Ibn Hazm Al Andaloosy on page 45 said,

Abu Ubaid Al Qaasim who was a companion of Imam Ahmed may allah have mercy upon them both said the following:
Abu Ubaid Al Qaasim Ibn Salaam gives further clarification in his book Ghareeb Al Hadeeth, Chapter 4 page 388
And his saying Al Hamraa( The reds which means the whites) – It means the non Arabs and the clients (the red slaves and the red people that embraced Islam ) they were named that because the most predominant colours of the Arabs are Al Sumurah(hues of brown) and Al Udmah (very dark brown to jet black) and the most predominant colours of the non Arab is white and red and this is like the saying of the people : If you wanted to mention mankind then you’d say the reds and the blacks. So the reds are all of those that are overwhelmed with whiteness and the blacks are those who are overwhelmed with Al Udmah( dark brown to jet black) .
غريب الحديث لابن سلام رحمه الله الجزء ج ٤ ص ٣٨٨
قوله: الحمراء – يعني العجم والموالي، سموا بذلك لأن الغالب على ألوان العرب السمرة والأدمة، والغالب على ألوان العجم البياض والحمرة وهذا كقول الناس: إن أردت أن تذكر بني آدم فقلت: أحمرهم وأسودهم، فأحمرهم كل من غلب
By the way, Bilal may Allah be pleased with him married an arab woman and he wasn’t an Arab. So did Salman Al Farsi may Allah be pleased with him too. And many others too.

There were many scholars from the past who disagreed with the notion that a non Arab was not fit to marry an Arab woman for many reason and they had proof too. Ibn Birr may Allah be pleased with him was one of many.
