Islam Discourages Marrying Outside your Culture

Came across this guy on tiktok who got people heated that in Islam even tho it is not haram to marry out But the salaf and scholars of the past preached and said it is better to marry from within and did not encourage to mix.

Founder of a Madhab
Imam Al-Shafi'i Rahimullah said:
"It is preferable for a man to marry a woman from his own country/tribe, as this reduces the chances of conflict"
{Al Umm, 5/26}


Man with the longest hadith collection
Imam Al Bukhari Rahimullah said:
"Marriage with a person of the same ethnicity is preferable because it avoids conflicts and cultural differences."
{Al-Adab Al Mufrad}


Imam al-Ghazali Rahimullah said:
"It is not advisable for a person to marry a person from another culture, as this may lead to problems and differences that cannot be easily resolved."
{ Ihya umm Al din, 2/234)


Sahabi
Salman Al Farisi Radiya-llahu
'anh said:
"O Arab people! [...] Let no one marry your women except of you" {qtiva Sirat Al mustageem
1/394}

There's many more of Imam Abu Hanifa R
Imam Al Qurtubi R
Imam Ahmad R
Umar ibn Khattab RA
Ibn Qudama R
Sheikh ibn Taymiyyah R.

Correct.


Alx I'm not Salafi

Allah allowed mandem to pursue queens and the Prophet conveyed as such
Idiot, what do the salafs have to do with salafis?

You should marry out and marry the jamacians who’s language you seem to speak.

It’s not discouraged

The number one reason to get married to someone is their level of deen but beyond that, marriages that cause too much fitnah and strife among the people is discouraged. Because Islam values the harmony within communities as it pertains to marriages. So while cross cultural marriages aren’t particularly discouraged, the baggage that it tends to come with is very much discouraged.

Now if you’re a Muslim in an area where there’s only a few Somalis and it’s hard to find a suitable wife/husband then of course go ahead and marry a good women/man on the deen outside of the culture, but context matters. In 95+% of cases it’s much better and easier to get married to a good and pious Somali sister/brother in the west.

It makes sense, but I would say that growing up in the same culture despite being of different ethnicities has a big impact.

I know the pious predecessors mentioned this due to the ignorance and prejudice of the average human being. So it makes sense!

This would not apply to people of high moral, intellectual and spiritual development despite their ethnic/ racial background. As they have grown above and beyond the petty prejudice and squabbles of the average person.

Dawg I just know if you had a Filipino wife, your quality of life would be magnitudes better. They go well with black guys usually.

I would agree but I'm very lucky to have my Somali wife; she has a mix of the cadaan/Filipino mindset. Her selflessness and caring nature makes me compete to be more selfless and caring.

Are you autistic? Firstly the salaf are the 3 early generations of Muslims including prophet and companions so you sound stupid. Secondly none said it is Haram but its is not encouraged too do so and show me hadith where prophet says that we must marry outside culture and encouraging it?

Not encouraged by Allah and his messenger? Otherwise I don't care about the opinions of dudes tryna gatekeep you little cuck.

Perhaps you should've titled your thread some Islamic scholars/companions discouraged rather than claiming the whole religion.

not even gonna waste my time on your contradictions seek help jahil.

These are the Salaf and companions and they do not speak from their desires except what the prophet was upon. Aint no way this munfiq just tried to treat the saying of the companions and salafs as not part of the Deen.

Fear Allah about Dudes tryna gatkeep Careful on what your implying and what could lead to you leaving fold of islam mate.
