1. If my maternal grandmother is a sayyeda (najib ul tarafyn) both from her father and mother
Is calling myself a Sayyid lawful as I am descendant of Fatima Zahra S.A as well?
2. But if you call yourself sayyed will it be counted as a sin?
3. Thanks for clarification but if you are a descendant of Holy Imam Jafar Al Sadiq A.S,then is it okay to write jaffri as your surname
It is your right to be acknowledged by his name as we are his children (descendants)

In the name of Allah
1. Yes you are descendant of Fatima Zahra but it is not usual that someone who is the descendant of Fatima Zahra from his mother side to be called sayyed
2. His Excellency Grand Ayatollah hadavi is also sayyed from both side : from his mother's grandmother and his father's grandmother but His Excellency doesn't call himself sayyed and doesn't permit anybody to do this even if they are really sayyed because it is not usual in Islamic communities
3. As it was explained this is not prohibited but it is not usual.
