Classification From Maternal Origins
Asselamu aleykum,
I’ve heard many times, that in Islam, one should only use the patrilineal tribe or caste, instead of matrilineal one.
My question is, does that ruling really apply? For example, if one’s father is American, while mother is British, is it prohibited for him to call himself a British?
Kindly clarify.
Thanks.

This is a cultural practice. Islam did not originate it nor has any objection to it.

So, one can recognize himself from his mother’s origins, right?

yes, it is a matter of choice. In Muslim history, there were many people who adopted their mother’s name like Ibn Maja the renowned Muhaddith and some took their daughter’s name like Imam Abu Hanifah.

Sir, i have found a tradition in which the prophet (sav) reportedly said; “The lineage of every mother’s children is attributed to their father except for Fatimah’s children. So I am their guardian and I am their lineage.” Is this hadith or tradition authentic? There prophet is clearly saying that the lineage continues through father only, except for Fatima (rta). Many people says that’s why the 108:01 of the Glorious Qur’an was revealed.

یہ حدیث اولین کتب حدیث میں موجود نہیں۔ معجم الکبیر میں نقل ہوئی جس کی اسناد قوی نہیں۔
تاہم، اسے درست بھی تسلیم کر لیا جائے تو یہ رسول اللہ ﷺ کے تعلق خاطر کا اظہار ہے جو اپنی اولاد اور ان کی اولاد سے محبت کے اظہار میں کہ دیا جاتا ہے۔
