Answer:

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

In Islam, the child follows the lineage of his father and not that of the mother. Since, the father is a Shaikh, the child will be a Shaikh and not a Syed.

And Allah knows best

Wassalaamu `alaykum
