Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is from outside this country. He says: I was with a Muslim woman in a forbidden manner, and a child resulted from that relationship. After a while, he turned to Allah from this heedlessness. His question is: Is it permissible for me to marry this woman? And is this child between us considered my son?
Answer:
No, the child is not your son; he is attributed only to his mother. Is he not your son? The child belongs to the bed, and this is not your bed.
