The Truth Of Pedigrees And It’s Purpose In Sharia

Abstract

Allah Almighty has blessed his servants with lineage. He Almighty said ]And it is He who created from water a human being and made him a relative by bloodline and marriage. And your Lord is ever competent[. (Al-Furqan: 54.(

 It is proven by a legitimate marriage in which its pillars and conditions are met and its impediments are absent. Lineage is not proven by forbidden things such as adultery and fornication. Lineage is the origin of the family and the strongest pillar that binds its members to it with the ties of forty kinships, affection and mercy. It is a blessing from Allah Almighty. Without lineage, the family bond would be severed and relations between its members would be severed. As we know, Islamic law isolates itself with the family bond and seeks to struggle to protect its umbrellas over its components. It has placed it among the necessities that people’s lives are based on. Likewise, lineage is one of the five faculties that control religion, the soul, lineage, the mind and money. Islam has taken a positive stance against relativity, so genealogy gained great honor, represented by the interest of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) and his urging to learn it. Many scholars have taken up the task of working on it, as an extension of their work on the science of history, which cannot do without genealogy. In order to preserve the family lineage, the phenomenon of adoption has been abolished. The accompanying child cannot prove his lineage to the one who adopted him because he is not a biological child, and the lineage cannot be proven by an invalid contract that is not valid, as it is one of its pillars. However, once the lineage is proven, rights, duties and matters appear, such as the right to custody of children, the right to register them and provide for them, and the right to inheritance. The lineage has been proven, especially in marriage and forbidden matters, such as the prohibition of incest, when the registered lineage is registered in the sanctuary and social rights that are summarized in the function of honoring parents, maintaining kinship, and the rights of kinship.
