The marriage contract of a child born of fornication with a noble, chaste woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the marriage contract of a child born of fornication with a noble, chaste woman valid?
Answer:
In terms of lineage, he is a stranger in terms of lineage. So the correct view is that as long as he is a Muslim holding fast to his religion, it is valid. However, the choice remains with the one who is not pleased with this contract. If she wishes, she may refuse to cause herself harm, and the contract is valid. This is in the issue of compatibility (kafa'ah) within herself. Yes.
