Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believerمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ
[An-Nahl 16:97]
This is general; this is general for all of Adam's descendants. Whoever is described with these attributes is among the people of Paradise. What is the sin of the child of zina? What is his sin?
