Sayyid . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

Is it permissible for an 18-year-old Sayed to enter into a Mutah with a Christian or Jewish girl who is not a virgin due to prior non-marital relationships?

If she was never married before, she still needs the permission of her father or paternal grand father. If her father or paternal grand father disagree for invalid reason, then has the right to decide for herself. If you have a Muslim wife, you need her permission to have a Mut’ah marriage with Christian or Jewish female.

Daughter . Alcohol . Parents . Pakistan . Sayyid

If a Muslim Syed daughter living abroad engages in activities like drinking alcohol, having a boyfriend, and wearing inappropriate clothing, are parents in Pakistan obligated to financially support her living and accommodation?

Parents are responsible to do every thing possible to protect their children from evil deeds and harmful company. If they are sure that their financial support will be used in sinful acts, they should refrain from supporting the wrong. They should everything possible to save their daughter from wrong.

Sunni . Family . Sayyid . Zakat . Poor

What alternative financial support can we offer to our impoverished relatives, considering that Zakat is not permissible within our Sunni Sayyid family?

Zakat from Non Sayyed is not permissible to Poor Sayyed, but it is permissible from a Sayyed to a poor Sayyed. If you are a Sayyed, you can give your Zakat to your Sayyed relatives.

We should give to our relatives more than Khums and Zakat to see that their life is with out financial hardships just like our own life as much as we can.

Sayyid . Medina . Prophet Muhammad . Hijra (Migration)

Why did the descendants of Prophet Muhammad migrate from Madina? How many migrations did the Sadat experience? What were the routes taken during these migrations?

The tyrant rulers and their oppression on Ahlul Bayt (SS) and their descendants were behind migrations from Madina then from Iraq, Yemen, Iran and other places. The routes of migrations went to many direction on this earth. Ahlul Bayt descendants migrated whenever they faced dander from the tyrant rulers to different place on this planet. That us why, you find Sadat in almost all the continents whose grand fathers have migrated to different countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia and the Americas.

Girl . Sin . Father . Sayyid . Marriage

Can a financially independent Syed girl who wants to marry a compatible boy to avoid sin proceed with the marriage if she is certain that her father will reject the proposal due to an invalid reason related to not being Syed?

Father is not allowed to reject his daughter's marriage with a compatible believer when she wants to save herself from sin, just because of a cultural reason which is never a condition in Sharia.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

NO.

Sayyed or Sayyeda is an Arabic honorific title denoting descendants of prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a). According to fiqh, it is a title given to the descendants of Hashim b. Abd Manaf (the Prophet's great grandfather).

So all the people from the bloodline of Hashim ibn Abd Manaf are Sayyeds or Hashemites. So is Hazrat Abbas may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and raise us all with him. Ameen

Sayyid

Can you provide sources that clarify who is included in the category of Sayyid? Are only descendants of Imams Hassan and Husayn considered Sayyids, or are descendants of Imam Ali (a) through his other wives also included?

Bani Hashim are the family of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) who have special rules in Islamic Sharia including the rule of obligatory Sadaqa being not allowed for any of them. Bani Hashim are all the grandchildren of Hashim who was the great grandfather of the Prophet (SAWA).

Sayyeds are known as children of Ali and Fatima (AS). Children of Imam Ali (AS) from other wives are from Bani Hashim but not from Fatima (AS).

Hadith . Sayyid . Qur'an

What does the Quran and Hadith say about the status of being a Syed? Are there any reliable sources or Hadith that I can refer to in order to correct the mistaken belief of some Syeds who consider themselves superior based solely on their lineage?

Sayyeds are from family tree of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and we need to respect them from the sake of respecting the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) as far as they follow basic faith of the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). If a Sayyed disrespects or goes against the main facts and teachings of the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt (AS), he will not be entitled to receive the respect which he has gone against.

Piousness and Taqawi is the main criteria in Islam. Son of Prophet Noah was destroyed because he disobeyed his father. We have also in our history some Sayyeds who harmed Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) and tried to kill him like Al-Hasan al-Aftas الحسن الآفطس

‘Pious Sayyeds deserve respect as much as they are pious in following the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). Disobeying Sayyed is a sinner who can never like the pious Sayyed.

Woman . Eyes . Sayyid . Taqwa (Piety) . God (Allah) . Paradise

Is it fair that in Jannah, if a Syeda and a non-Syeda woman have the same level of piety, the Syeda woman will receive a higher position because she receives double rewards for her good deeds?

There is no discrimination whatsoever in Islam neither in this life nor in the hereafter. Every believer will get the reward of there good deeds equally. Obviously same good deed has different degrees of sincerity which will be reflected in the reward of it. There is no discrimination at all because of ethnic or family matters. Allah Sats in Quran ( Every one will be getting his own deeds). Sura 52, verse 21.
