Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to use what is called DNA in order to determine a child's lineage and to establish zina?
Answer:
No, establishing zina is not permissible, because what is required is to cover it up; what is required is to cover it up. It is not permissible to establish zina through DNA, and lineage is not established through DNA either, because lineage is only established by religious matters. That is, either he acknowledges it, or a child is born on his bed, or the genealogists attribute it to him. The genealogists are those who know the resemblance, and their word is acted upon. Yes.
