Can an unmarried girl marry a pious compatible man, even if she knows her father will not allow it due to non-Syed status, in order to protect herself from committing sin?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

This is an issue in some countries among some people who think that cultural matters are to be followed in marriage.

I advise you to refer to your Marje’ Taqleed to seek his guidance.

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?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

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.

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?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

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.

I advise her to contact her Marje’ of Taqleed to explain to him his situation and seek him guidance.

You can get the email address of the main Maraaje’ of Taqleed in the Internet.

Is it true that Mola Abbas is not a Syed due to not being from the descendants of Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra (a)?
Sayyed Muhammad Husaini Ragheb

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
