The sixth question of the fatwa number ( 2857 )
Q6: Can the son of fornication be an imam for the people?
A6: The principle is that the child of fornication is like any other person regarding leadership; due to the generality of the saying of the Exalted:[Al-Hujurat 49:13] , and His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 980Sahih (Darussalam) the hadith, and the sin of his mother and the one who committed fornication with her has no effect on him; due to the saying of the Exalted and Glorified: [Al-An'am 6:164] . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
