Q5: Is marriage of Sayyed woman to a non-Sayyed man allowed?

A: There is nothing in the holy Quran or in the traditions of the prophet and of the Ahlulbyte that prohibits such marriage.

In addition, several texts stated that the prophet and the Ahlulbyte said: "if you were approached - to seek marriage - by whoever you are satisfied with his religion and his ethics then by all means accept him. If you did not, there will be mischief and huge riots". The messenger of Allah himself implemented this practically according to what is narrated by Imam Sadiq: "The messenger of Allah married Dhubaa the daughter of his uncle Zubair the son of Abdul Muttalib to Muqdad bin Amro. He did that to show (that) the marriage is simple, for you to act similarly and to know that the noblest among you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Zubair was a full brother to Abdullah (the prophet's father) and to Abu Talib (Imam Ali's father)".
