The ruling on a person claiming descent from someone other than his father in official documents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does the one who claims descent from someone other than his father in a permit or an identity document fall under the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “May Allah curse the one who claims descent from someone other than his father”?
Answer:
Yes, without a doubt, it falls under it. What prevents it from falling under it? They do this in pursuit of worldly gain. They do this, may Allah protect us from it, in pursuit of worldly gain. So, first, it is taking money by an unlawful means. Second, it is lying about lineage and denying the father.
