Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in these times, what is called DNA fingerprint analysis has become widespread. So, if there is doubt about a person, is he analyzed and attached to the lineage?
Answer:
No, lineage is not established by the fingerprint. If people used to dispute over the lineage of a boy or a child, they would refer to the genealogists who know the bloodlines and know the physical resemblance. As for DNA, this is not valid. Yes.
