Non-Sayyid marrying a Sayyid

Question: 

Is it permissible for a non-Sayyid to get married to a Sayyid? 

Answer: 
If a Sayyad man wants to marry a non Sayyad lady, it will be permissible. If it is the other way round, the consent of her Wali is necessary. (Fataawa Mahmudiyyah Vol. 11 Pg. 618-626)

Giving Zakaat to a Sayyid

Question: 

Is it permissible to give Zakaat to a Sayyid? 

Answer: 
In the enquired case, it is inadmissible to give Zakat to a Sayyad (progeny of Hazrat Ali , Aqeel , Ja’far , Abbas , and Harith Bin Abdul Muttalib) and similarly it is prohibited for a Sayyad to receive Zakat money. However, in dire needs, the ruling will differ. (Ahsanul Fataawa Vol. 4 Pg. 288-289)
