Obtaining a National ID in the name of his maternal grandfather
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first and second questions of Fatwa No. ( 7599 )
Q1: What is the ruling in the Shari'ah regarding one who obtained a National ID in the name of his maternal grandfather, whose relationship to his actual father is that of a full paternal uncle, and all of them are Saudi, with no issue regarding inheritance among them, and does the noble hadith regarding "whoever claims to be the son of someone other than his father" apply to him, and who are the people intended by this hadith?
A1: It is not permissible; because it involves claiming lineage to someone other than his father, even if his maternal grandfather is a full paternal uncle to his father; due to the generality of the texts of the Book and the Sunnah for this case, as the intended meaning of "father" is the one from whose seed a child is born through a lawful path
