The Non-Existence of the Child After Li'an and Its Condition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in your book in which you explained al-Zad, you stated that when li'an is completed, four matters result from it, and the fourth is the non-existence of the child if he denies it in the li'an by saying in each instance, "This child is not mine."
Answer:
Yes, this is one of the rulings that follow from the oath of mutual accusation, but on the condition that he denies the paternity. If he remains silent, the child is his, for the child belongs to the bed. If he performs the li'an against him, he removes him from his bed.
