The attribution of a child of unknown lineage to the one who found him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh: Is it permissible to attribute a child to the one who claimed him?
The Shaykh:
No, he is not attributed to the one who found him. If his father is not known, he is not attributed to anyone; he is not attributed to anyone. The word of Allah the Exalted is:[Al-Ahzab 33:5] If his father is known, he is not attributed to anyone else; he is called so-and-so, the son of his father, or the son of 'Abd Allah, because all people are the servants of Allah, but he is not specified.
Another questioner:
I have done it now, and you say the schools stop at.
The Shaykh:
No, no, it is not permissible to fabricate a father for him; it is not permissible to fabricate a father for him, that is not correct. He is attributed to so-and-so or so-and-so, saying, "I do not object to his being attributed to me so that he can marry." This is not permissible, because this contradicts His saying, the Exalted: "Call them by their fathers' names." When people used to say "Zayd ibn Muhammad," meaning Zayd ibn Harithah, Allah refuted them and said:[Al-Ahzab 33:4] It is not permissible for a foundling to be attributed to anyone other than his father, and there is a severe warning for one who attributes himself to anyone other than his father.
Another questioner:
We return to the same appointment.
The Shaykh:
Yes, and I do not object. The discussion is about his attribution to a specific person. As for being attributed to a hypothetical person, I do not object. Yes.
