Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, how is a child attributed to his father, especially in these times with the existence of identity cards?
Answer:
A child is attributed to his father through the bed (firaash) if he is born on his father’s bed, or if the father acknowledges him. If the child’s paternity is unknown and then the father acknowledges him, as mentioned to you previously, he is attached by one of two things: either the bed or his acknowledgment, on the condition that the child’s paternity is unknown.
