The ruling on accusing a person of being a foundling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude with this question: What is the ruling if someone is accused with the phrase "O foundling"?

Answer:
"O foundling" is not an accusation against the person himself; it is an accusation against his parents. It is an accusation against his mother. This matter is referred to the court because it involves independent legal reasoning (ijtihad). So it is referred to the judge to see whether it constitutes an accusation of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) or not.
