Why do Circassians not marry outside their faith, despite their belief that no non-Arab is superior to an Arab except by piety, and their eagerness not to lose their existence as a minority?

This fatwa emphasizes the importance of understanding the questioner's reality when issuing a fatwa, as Ibn Al-Qayyim pointed out in "I'lam Al-Muwaqqi'in." However, it clarifies that fatwa No. 31303 was not based solely on the principle "there is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab except by piety." Rather, it also considered the reality of the fatwa and the Shariah evidence, and it warned against the injustice and corruption resulting from restricting marriage to members of a single sect and the social ostracism of those who marry outside the sect, citing the hadith: "If someone whose religion and character you approve comes to you seeking marriage, then marry him." It asserts that the statement "We will be lost, and we do not want to lose our existence in this country" is a disregarded interest from a Shariah perspective, and that loyalty must be to religion, not to nationalism, tribalism, or ethnicity. It warns against any gathering that is not based on the banner of Islam, citing Allah's saying: "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you."
