The inclusion of a foundling in the hadith of fitrah when born in the abode of disbelief
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 2658d include the foundling who was born in the abode of disbelief, such that he would be a Muslim?
Answer:
No, he is not included, because the ruling for the child of disbelievers is that he follows their ruling. He does not follow them? If disbeliever workers come to us to work, and they have their wives and children with them, is the ruling that their children are Muslims? No, the child follows his father in religion. Yes. And the Americans who are here, this is not acceptable; a disbeliever’s child follows the disbeliever. Yes.
