Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, to whom is the child of fornication attributed if his mother is known or the fornicator is known? Is he attributed to him?
Answer:
No, the father has no father; he is attributed to his mother only, and his mother and her 'asabah (residuary male heirs) inherit from him. He has no father and no 'asabah from the father's side. Yes.
