The Mufti of Yemen Nullifies the Ba'alwi Lineage

Hanif considers it important for someone to make an assessment validating or nullifying a lineage without conducting research. For the author, it is unimportant whether the Mufti of Yemen validates or nullifies the Ba'alwi lineage, because the news regarding the Mufti of Yemen nullifying the Ba'alwi lineage—found in one of the online newspapers from Yemen—was devoid of any proof whatsoever.

When the author brought up that news, it was merely to state that the view that the Ba'alwi lineage is invalid does not originate solely from the author's own research; rather, many other scholars worldwide also nullify the Ba'alwi lineage, among whom is the Mufti of Yemen, according to the report in that online media. Should the Mufti of Yemen subsequently validate the Ba'alwi lineage, the author stands ready to debate the Mufti of Yemen, because the proofs demonstrating the severed nature of the Ba'alwi lineage held by the author are, in the author's view, more precise than the various writings of global scholars who have nullified the lineage.

International Naqabah Does Not Recognize the Ba'alwi Lineage

Hanif creates a framing that the author is campaigning that the International Naqabah does not recognize the Ba'alwi lineage. On the contrary, the author is among those who do not base their research of the Ba'alwi lineage on the opinions of Naqabah administrators. Why? Because within the Naqabah, each family possesses a code of ethics to only manage its own family affairs and not interfere in the affairs of other families, let alone go as far as nullifying the lineage of another family.

The primary foundation of lineage research consists of genealogical books, not the opinions of a naqabah organization. Then, to test the historicity of each researched name, historical books are added.

In their book, Hanif et al. display several signatures of validation from a Naqabah or individuals without any evidence that can be held accountable. In the principles of genealogy, such signatures carry no meaning whatsoever in helping to validate a lineage that is clearly void, such as the Ba'alwi lineage. Sheikh Khalil bin Ibrahim mentioned a rule:

لا عبرة بكثرة التواقع ان لم يكن النسب صحيحا فكثرة التواقيع لا تصحح خطأ والتوقيع حجة على من وقع لا حجة على غيره

"There is no value in a large number of signatures if the lineage is not authentic. A multitude of signatures does not correct an error. A signature is a proof against the one who signed it, not a proof against anyone else."

Sheikh Al-Turbani Nullifies the Ba'alwi Lineage

Hanif Alatas et al. state that the author's writing asserting that Sheikh Al-Turbani nullifies the Ba'alwi lineage is a hoax, when in reality it is a fact. That Sheikh Al-Turbani subsequently retracted his opinion is a separate matter. What is interesting is that Hanif et al. obtained the news of Sheikh al-Turbani's retraction solely based on a communication on Facebook.

Once again, the author states that the conclusion regarding the nullity of the Ba'alwi lineage—which is already final—is not something the author relies on anyone else to be responsible for; the author personally and scientifically answers for the conclusion that this Ba'alwi lineage is a fabricated lineage. Along with that, the author’s quotes or readings of the opinions of past scholars concerning the Ba'alwi lineage are used by the author as research sources to arrive at a perfect conclusion.

 The Conclusion that the Ba'alwi Lineage is Nullified is a Thesis

Hanif challenges the author for calling the conclusion that the Ba'alwi lineage is nullified a "thesis". According to Hanif, a thesis only means a scientific work written as a final assignment for a higher education institution. Certainly, what Hanif stated reflects that he has not traveled widely enough in the world of philosophy, particularly regarding Hegel's Dialectic theory.

A thesis is the starting point in the Hegelian Dialectical process, representing a specific idea or view within a context. In an academic context, a thesis symbolizes a concept put forward by an individual or group as a foundation for further understanding. Every research project or theory begins with a thesis, reflecting the current understanding of a specific subject. Up to this point, hopefully, Hanif et al. have understood what is meant by a thesis.

Plagiarizing the Thoughts of Orientalists and Non-Aswaja Figures

Plagiarizing Orientalist Thought to Nullify the Ba'alwi Lineage

Hanif accuses the author of plagiarizing the thoughts of orientalists in nullifying the Ba'alwi lineage, even though it has been proven in the author's previous explanations that the author's method in nullifying the Ba'alwi lineage is by utilizing the methods of the Science of Genealogy (Ilmu Nasab).

The methods for validating a lineage found in genealogical science books such as Rasa'il fi 'Ilm al-Ansab number seven; out of those seven methods, all of them dictate that the Ba'alwi lineage is void.

First: The Method of Shuhrah wal-Istifadhah (Renown and Widespread Notoriety). Using this first method, the Ba'alwi lineage is void because Shuhrah (popularity) requires a condition, namely "Adam al-Mu'aridh" (the absence of conflicting proof). Meanwhile, the book claiming the Ba'alwi to be descendants of the Prophet in the 9th century AH conflicts with a genealogy book from the 6th century AH, namely the book Al-Shajarah al-Mubarakah, which states that the children of Ahmad bin Isa numbered only three: Muhammad, Ali, and Husain. There was no child of Ahmad bin Isa named Ubaid, Ubaidullah, or Abdullah.

The expert in genealogy, Sheikh Husain bin Haidar al-Hashemi, in his book Rasa'il fi 'Ilm al-Ansab, stated:

الطريق الأول : اسْتِفَاضَة النسب وشهرته في بلده ، شهرة تثمر علماً ، واستفاضة بين بين عددٍ عدد من النَّاسِ يقع العلم يخبرهم أو الفن القوي ، ويؤمن توافقهم على الكذب ، مع عدم المعارض

"The first path: is through istifadhatun-nasab (the widespread diffusion of a lineage) and shuhratun-nasab (the renown of a lineage) in one's town—a renown that yields certain knowledge, and a diffusion among a number of people such that certainty occurs through their reports or a powerful presumption, and where they are safe from colluding to lie, accompanied by the absence of any conflicting proof."
Second: The Method of Genealogical Books. Using the method of genealogical books, the Ba'alwi lineage is void because genealogical books can only be used to validate a lineage on the condition that a genealogy book must not contradict the contents of a prior genealogy book. Meanwhile, the genealogical books validating the Ba'alwi only appeared in the 9th and 10th centuries AH, contradicting previous books.

Observe what is said in the book Nihayatul Muhtaj, Volume 8, p. 319, by Imam Ramli:

 "And it is permissible for him to testify by tasamu' (hearsay/common notoriety) when there is no conflicting evidence stronger than the tasamu', such as the denial of the person to whom the lineage is attributed, or the presence of a tha'n (disparagement) by someone against that lineage. It is true by law that tasamu' falls away in the presence of denial and disparagement, but according to the strong opinion, it is required that the disparagement is not accompanied by signs of lying from the person conveying it."
It is clear that the method of the Nassabah (genealogy experts) and jurisprudence experts nullifies the Ba'alwi lineage through the method of Shuhrah wal-Istifadhah, because the renown of the Ba'alwi is rejected by the 6th-century AH genealogy book, Al-Shajarah al-Mubarakah.

Sheikh Khalil Ibrahim in the book Al-Muqaddimat fi 'Ilm al-Ansab:

شروط اعتماد الرقعة ١ ان لا تكون مخالفة للأصول

 "The conditions for relying on a genealogy book as a reference: first, it must not differ from the foundational source books."

In the book Ushulu 'Ilmi al-Nasab wa al-Mufadhalah Bain al-Ansab by Fuad bin Abduh bin Abil Gaits al-Jaizani, it is said:

ولا يمكننا الحديث عن النسب القديم بناءاً على ما ورد في الكتب الحديثة المستندة إلى كلام غير منطقى أو على الذاكرة الشعبية فقط

"And it is impossible for us to speak of an ancient lineage based on what has appeared in modern books that rely on illogical speech or on popular folk memory alone."
Thus, it is clear that the main books relied upon by the Ba'alwi—Al-Burqat al-Musyiqah, Al-Jauhar al-Syafaf, and Al-Nafhah al-Anbariyah, all of which date to the 9th century AH—cannot be used to validate the Ba'alwi lineage because they contradict an older genealogy book, namely Al-Shajarah al-Mubarakah from the 6th century AH.

Third: The Method of Shahadah / Al-Bayyinah al-Syar'iyyah (Legal Testimony/Evidence). This testimony of two witnesses can be carried out for the testimony of people living today. It cannot be done for an Ubaid who lived a thousand years ago. Sheikh Khalil Ibrahim stated concerning Al-Bayyinah al-Syar'iyyah in his book Muqaddimat fi 'Ilmi al-Ansab:

أقول : إن هذا الأمر ليس في ثبوت نسب القبائل بل يعمل به في إلحاق نسب طفل بأبيه

"I say: Verily, this matter (legal testimony) is not for establishing the lineage of tribes; rather, it is applied in attributing the lineage of a child to his father." (Muqaddimat, 62).
Therefore, according to genealogy experts, this method of two witnesses cannot be used to validate Ubaid as a child of Ahmad.

Fourth: The Method of Ikrar (Acknowledgment). According to Sheikh Khalil Ibrahim in the book Muqaddimat, this method of i'tiraf (recognition) and iqrar likewise cannot validate a distant lineage like that of Ubaid. It is used only for the lineage of a person living today:

أقول: إن هذا الامر لا يخص نسب القبائل بل هو يخص النسب الفردي المشكوك في صحته فعندما يقر ويعترف الأب بأبوته لهذا الطفل أو الولد يلحق به وبنسبه

"I say: Verily, this matter does not pertain to the lineage of tribes; rather, it pertains to an individual lineage whose authenticity is doubted. Thus, when a father acknowledges and recognizes his paternity of this infant or boy, the child is attached to him and to his lineage."
Fifth: The Method of I'tiraf (Recognition).

الطريق الخامس : أن يعترف رجل عاقل ويُقر ، أن فلاناً يكون ابنه، ويكون المدعي ممن يولد مثله لمثل الدعي ، وانتفت الموانع

 "The fifth path: is that a sane man recognizes and acknowledges that so-and-so is his son, provided that the claimant is of an age where one like him could father one like the claimant, and all impediments are absent."

This method of a father's i'tiraf and ikrar toward a child is also, according to Sheikh Khalil Ibrahim, used for those who are still alive, not for someone who passed away thousands of years ago like Ubaid.

Sixth: The Method of Qiyafah (Physiognomy/Lineage Tracking via Physical Resemblance). This method as well can only be performed for people who are alive today to observe the physical resemblance between the two. It cannot be used to validate a distant lineage because we cannot compare Ubaid and Ahmad bin Isa, both of whom passed away a thousand years ago.

Seventh: The Method of Qur'ah (Drawing Lots). Al-Qur'ah (casting lots) is used to validate a lineage based on the Hadith of Zaid bin Arqam, who said:

 "I was sitting with the Prophet SAW when a man from the people of Yemen arrived and said: 'Three individuals from the people of Yemen came to Ali KW submitting a legal dispute regarding a child; they had all cohabited with one woman during a single period of purity.' Ali said to two of them, 'Concede the child to this man,' but the two refused with agitation. Then Ali said to another two, 'Concede the child to that man,' but the two refused. Then Ali said to another two, 'Concede the child to that man,' but the two refused. So Ali said, 'You are argumentative partners; I shall cast lots among you. Whosoever's lot is drawn, the child is his, and he must pay two-thirds of the blood money (diyat) to his two companions.' He then cast lots among them and assigned the child to the one whose lot was drawn. Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah laughed until his molar teeth became visible." (Narrated by Abu Dawud, al-Nasa'i, and Ahmad).

This method of qur'ah cannot be applied to the Ba'alwi lineage either, because this method is executed only when the validating proofs and the negating proofs are equal in strength. Meanwhile, the proof validating the Ba'alwi lineage is extremely weak and falls under the category of a fabricated (maudhu') lineage.

From the seven methods of lineage validation outlined by these genealogy experts, it is already clear who has run afoul of genealogical methods and principles. Those who today still validate the Ba'alwi despite the glaring clarity of their invalidity are the ones who have violated genealogical methods and principles.

Copying Wahhabi Figures in Nullifying the Ba'alwi Lineage

The Ba'alwi frequently state that the author is the only person in this world who nullifies the Ba'alwi lineage. Yet, in this book, Hanif et al. openly admit that many other scholars have already nullified the Ba'alwi lineage. Hanif then accuses the author of copying those scholars in nullifying the Ba'alwi lineage.

Those scholarly figures include Murad Syukri, Audah al-Aqili, and Muqbil al-Wada'i; according to Hanif, all of them are Wahhabi figures. For the author, knowledge can come from anywhere. When an opinion is based on proof (dalil), then that opinion is worthy of being followed. Just as the Ba'alwi clan does not pick and choose whether the scholars supporting the Ba'alwi lineage are from the Shia, such as Mahdi Raja'i, or from the Wahhabis, such as Ibrahim bin Mansur.

What is certain is that the proofs presented by the author for this thesis on the nullity of the Ba'alwi lineage are more precise than those of previous scholars. If you can refute it, please bring forward your proof!

 Lacking Competence in the Science of Genealogy

According to Hanif et al., the author lacks competence in the Science of Genealogy (Ilmu Nasab). Below, the author presents various rules (kaidah) used by genealogy experts to nullify the Ba'alwi lineage:

Principle 1:

المصلحة فان ظهرت مصلحة عند المثبت او النافي يترك قوله غالبا، وقد يعمل بنقيض مصلحته في حالات مخصصة، ولا يؤخذ بقوله الا اذا وجد ما يعضده عند غيره ممن ليست لهم مصلحة ولم ينقلوا عن من له مصلحة

 "Vested interest (Al-Maslahah): If a vested interest becomes apparent on the part of the validator or the negator of a lineage, their statement is usually discarded. Sometimes, under specific circumstances, action may be taken contrary to their vested interest. Their statement is not accepted unless supporting evidence is found from others who have no vested interest and who did not narrate from anyone with a vested interest." 

Based on this rule, the books authored by the Ba'Alwi—such as Al-Burqah al-Musyiqah, Al-Jauhar al-Syafaf, etc.—or the opinions of their students, are not fit to be used as a hujjah (valid proof/legal evidence) because there is an inherent conflict of interest involved.

Principle 2

وعندما نحقق النسب فان المصادر التي يمكن ان نستقي منها النسب يجب ان تكون من كتب الانساب القديمة التي كتبت فيما قبل العصر الحديث حيث كان الناس اقرب الى معرفة اصولهم

"And when we verify (tahqiq) a lineage, the sources from which we can extract that lineage must consist of early genealogical books written prior to the modern era, as people back then were closer to knowing their origins."
Based on this principle, the references that the Ba'Alwi must use to defend their lineage are genealogical texts (kitab nasab), not books of history or Sufism. Meanwhile, the genealogical texts that record them only emerged in the 10th century AH, and their contents contradict earlier texts.

 Principle 3

ولا يمكننا الحديث عن النسب القديم بناءاً على ما ورد في الكتب الحديثة المستندة إلى كلام غير منطقى أو على الذاكرة الشعبية فقط

"And it is impossible for us to discuss an ancient lineage based on what is contained in recent books that rely on illogical arguments or purely on popular folk memory."

Based on this principle, the arguments used by the Ba'Alwi to establish Ubaid / Ubaidillah / Abdullah as a son of Ahmad bin Isa—which rely on 10th-century books even though Ubaid lived in the 4th century AH—are rejected, especially since those books contradict the 6th-century AH text, Al-Syajarah al-Mubarakah.

Principle 4

ويختلف المرجع عن المصدر في ان المصدر اقرب زمان ومكان وبيئة الاحداث التي يرويها اما المرجع فهو مختلف عن المصدر في بعض او كل العناصر السابقة فيحتاج مؤلف المرجع الى مصادر ومواد اولية اخرى لانجاز بحثه ويترتب على ذلك ان المصدر يكون اجدربالاعتبار في حالة التعارض مع المرجع مالم يحتو المرجع على تحليل دقيق يفند اوجه التعارض من خلال مصادر او مواد اولية اخرى

"A reference (marji') differs from a source (mashdar) in that a source is closer in time, place, and environment to the events it narrates. A reference, however, differs from a source in some or all of the aforementioned elements. Thus, the author of a reference requires sources and other primary materials to complete their research. Consequently, a source is more worthy of consideration when a conflict arises with a reference, unless the reference contains a meticulous analysis that refutes the points of contradiction through other sources or primary materials."
Based on this principle, it is clear that if a newer genealogical book contradicts an older book, the older book is the one to be considered (diiktibar as valid proof).

 Principle 5

ليس كل من كتب في الانساب حجة وليس كل ما كتب يصح الاحتجاج به

"Not everyone who writes on genealogy is an authoritative proof (hujjah), and not everything that is written is valid to be used as proof."

Based on this principle, the books of scholars that mention the Ba'Alwi lineage are dismissed if they are not specifically genealogical texts, because the only books validly used as proof in establishing lineage (itsbat nasab) are books of genealogy.

 Principle 6

وأعلم أن الخبر إذا كان يباين المعقول ويخالف المنقول ويناقض الأصول فهو منحول أي موضوع، والمنحول والموضوع لا يحتج بها

 "And know that if information contradicts logic, clashes with established references (manqul), and violates foundational principles (ushul), then it is fabricated (manhul), meaning forged (maudhu'). Fabricated and forged information cannot be used as proof."
Based on this principle, the Ba'Alwi lineage is completely invalidated; it is a fabricated lineage (nasab manhul) because it contradicts logic—where a lineage unmentioned for 550 years suddenly appears claiming descendancy from the Prophet without any prior genealogical text—and it contradicts the manqul (established genealogical books).

 Principle 7

وينبغي على باحث الأنساب أن لا يقدس النصوص، فكل نص عدا كلام الله وحدیث رسوله صلى الله عليه واله، فهو يخضع للتحقيق والتدقيق وهو معرض للخطأ والصواب
 "And it behooves the researcher of genealogy not to sanctify texts (regarding lineage citations). For every text besides the Word of Allah and the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah (SAW) is subject to investigation and scrutiny; it is liable to be mistaken or correct."
By this principle, any statement of scholars quoting the Ba'Alwi lineage in their books, such as Ibnu Hajar Al-Haitami, is open to our investigation regarding their text-based inference (istidlal) if they provide evidence. If they provide no evidence, we discard it if it contradicts genealogical books. That is how genealogists investigate lineage, rather than framing someone who researches lineage as a person who demeans scholars.

 Principle 8

ما من أحد إلا يؤخذ من علمه ويترك إلا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

"There is no one whose knowledge cannot be either accepted or rejected, except for the Messenger of Allah (SAW)."
Based on this principle, genealogical research that tests the istidlal of citations even from major scholars does not contradict Islamic Sharia and is, in fact, encouraged.

 Principle 9

لا يحتج بكثرة المصادر اذا كانت تنقل من اصل واحد

"A large quantity of reference books cannot be used as proof if they all copy from a single source."
Based on this principle, the high number of books cited by Hanif Alatas et al. to validate the Ba'Alwi from the 10th century until now is meaningless if all of them ultimately bottleneck at a single source: the book Al-Burqah al-Musyiqah by Ali al-Sakran in the ninth century Hijriyah.

 Principle 10

اذا عرف الواضع وعرفت علة الوضع الجارحة انتفى الاستدلال

 "When the fabricator is known and the compromising flaw ('illat) behind the fabrication is identified, the textual inference (istidlal) becomes null and void."
Based on this principle, since the author knows that the person who first placed the Ba'Alwi lineage as descendants of Ahmad bin Isa was Ali al-Sakran, and knows his reason for placing it there was merely due to a similarity of names, the evidential strength of the Ba'Alwi lineage vanishes. This means the Ba'Alwi lineage suddenly appeared out of nowhere without the slightest proof.

 Principle 11

ولا يقدم بحال على ما يثبته النسابة خصوصا ان كانوا اقرب زمانا او مكانا

 "Under no circumstances may a historian be prioritized over the determinations made by a genealogist, especially if the genealogists are closer in time or location."
Based on this principle, the entirety of Hanif et al.’s references spanning a hundred books cannot be used as evidence for the Ba'Alwi lineage, because those books are merely works of history, Sufism, and the like. The only genealogical book Hanif can present is Al-Nafhah from the ninth century, which contradicts earlier genealogical texts.

 Principle 12

لا يؤخذ هذ العلم الا من مصادره ومراجعه المعتمدة

 "This science (the determination of lineage) cannot be taken except from its authoritative sources and references."
This principle reinforces the previous ones: the only books that can serve as evidence are books of genealogy.

 Principle 13

فالنسب يثبت اذا وجد في رقعة او كتاب بشرط ان يكون هذا المكتوب قطعي الدلالة على المقصود وليس من المؤتلف اي متشابه الاسماء

 "Thus, a lineage is considered established if it is found in a document or a book, provided that what is written is definitive in its indication (qath'iy al-dilalah) toward the intended purpose, and does not belong to the category of al-mu'talif, meaning a mere similarity of names."
Based on this principle, the name Abdullah found in Al-Suluk (732 AH)—which in the 9th century AH was deduced through ijtihad by the Ba'Alwi to be identical to the name Ubaid—is unacceptable. This is because a lineage verification taken from a book must be definitive (qath'iyy) and possess a true identity of names, not just a passing resemblance

Principle 14

وَكَأَنَّا إِذَا قُلْنَا: يَا شَرِيفُ أَوْ جَاءَ الشَّرِيفُ، وَمَا أَشْبَهَ ذَلِكَ مُوَافِقًا الشريف عَلَى مَا ذَكَرْنَا، فَإِذَا رَأَيْنَا مَكْتُوبًا لَيْسَ مَقْصُودُهُ إثْبَات النَّسَبِ لَمْ تَحْمِلْهُ عَلَى إِثْبَاتِ النَّسَبِ وَلَا يَجُوزُ التَّعَلُّقُ بِهِ فِي إِثْبَاتِهِ إذَا كَانَ الْمَقْصُودُ مِنْهُ غَيْرَهُ

"It is as if we were to say, 'O Syarif!' or 'The Syarif has arrived,' and similar expressions matching the status of Syarif that we have mentioned. If we come across a written text whose objective is not to verify lineage, we must not interpret it as a verification of lineage, nor is it permissible to rely on it for confirmation when the intended meaning of the text was something else entirely."
From this principle, we understand that the honorific title Sayyid or Syarif used in a book does not constitute a verification of lineage. For instance, when K.H. Hasyim Asy'ari addressed a Ba'Alwi individual as Sayyid, it cannot be claimed that he was verifying that person's lineage.

Invalidating Distant Lineage Through DNA Testing

The DNA Method: In the book Muqaddimat fi 'Ilmi al-Ansab, Syekh Khalil Ibrahim presents an article by an Arab DNA expert, Professor Ubaidillah (p. 178). In that writing, Prof. Ubaidillah states:

 "DNA testing has succeeded in exposing those who falsely and deceitfully claim descendancy from the Ahl al-Bayt. This occurs when their DNA test results reveal that they are of Persian and Caucasian descent. Hence, it is not surprising that they combat this science of DNA testing on their websites. This stands in contrast to the DNA test results of other well-known nobles (Asyraf), which match and align closely with Adnanite DNA."

Professor Ubaidillah states:

 "After researching and conducting numerous tests and laboratory analyses of DNA to understand the diversity of human races, researchers discovered that Arab genetic heritage falls within the J1 haplogroup. Researcher Professor Ali bin Muhammad Al-Shehhi remarked: We can assign the name of the J1 type to the DNA of Arab tribes."

Now that we know Arab DNA belongs to the J1 haplogroup, we must ask: what are the DNA test results of the Ba'Alwi clan? The answer is that their DNA test results fall under the G haplogroup. Those results indicate that not only are they not descendants of the Prophet, but they are also not ethnically Arab.[]
