Does a child from zina inherit?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: One of the brothers was in a relationship with a Christian girl, cohabiting with her in what is known as mukhadanah, and then he left her. When she informed him that she had given birth to his child, he married her. The question is: Is this child considered a child from zina, and is he attributed to him and does he inherit from him, or not?
Answer:
This is from unlawful intercourse (sifah) and zina. The child is not attributed to him; the child belongs to the bed, meaning to the husband. This man is not a husband; he is a fornicator, may Allah protect us from that. The child is from unlawful intercourse, so he is not attributed to a father; he is only attributed to his mother. Yes.
