The Adulterer’s Acknowledgment of the Child and His Maintenance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if the second man acknowledges that the child was born as a result of his actions, and the woman demands maintenance for the child born out of wedlock.
Answer:
Glory be to Allah. We told you that a child is never attributed to a man through an adulteress. The child of an adulteress is never attributed to any man, ever, even if he claims it, even if he says, “This is my son,” or even if he admits that he is the adulterer and that this child is from his seed. This is not permissible. The child belongs to the bed only. Have you heard the hadith? The child belongs to the bed. This woman is not a bed; she is an adulteress. She is an adulteress. Therefore, her children are not attributed to any man. Yes.
