The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what if a foundling is not claimed by anyone?
The Shaykh:
He is not attributed to anyone, he is not attributed to anyone, he is attributed to his father, it is said so-and-so is the son of his father, or so-and-so is the son of 'Abdullah, because all people are the slaves of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), but he is not attributed to a specific person.
Another questioner:
May Allah bless you. Like the rulings.
The Shaykh:
It is the same, he is not attributed to anyone, he is attributed to his mother only, it is said the son of so-and-so, so-and-so is the son of so-and-so, and he is not attributed to a father, even if someone claims him, he is not linked to him, a child of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) is not linked to anyone, he is not linked to a father, it is not permissible to link him to a father, his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 2006Sahih (Darussalam), a child of zina is not permissible to attribute to a father, he is only attributed to his mother.
