The ruling on one who is attributed to other than his father without his intention
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is one that reached the program from Bahrain, sent by one of the female listeners there. Her message is lengthy, Your Eminence, but the summary of what is in this message is: that her mother was divorced from her father, and at that time her mother married another man from another country. So the mother attributed the daughter to the new husband, and she became entitled to certain rights by that attribution, just as the citizens of that country are entitled to them. Then she informed her father of the matter, but he was lenient in his life and said, "This is my daughter, and her destiny is to return to me." Then Allah caused her father to pass away, and at that time she began to think about correcting her situation; for if she remained with that false attribution, she would be entitled to certain wealth and rights, and if she neglected it, she would lose many things. She asks for your guidance, Your Eminence? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon His Messenger, upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
So there is no doubt that this action is a reprehensible matter, and it is not permissible for a person to be attributed to other than his father, whether he is a man or a woman. This action that the woman and her new husband did is a reprehensible matter, and it is obligatory upon them to repent to Allah from that and to correct the situation, by her being attributed to her father and the removal of the papers there that attribute her to the new husband. This is what is obligatory upon everyone, and she has no right in this action; rather, it is reprehensible. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against attributing a person to other than his father, and he threatened with that, and he informed that this is of the types of disbelief, meaning: minor disbelief.
So the point is that it is forbidden, and it is not permissible for a person to attribute himself to other than his father, nor for him to be attributed to other than his father. So it is obligatory upon the woman, and her new husband, and the daughter's husband, and the mother of the daughter's father to correct the situation, to correct the situation from all angles. And if there is a dispute, if someone disputes this thing, then let it be referred to the court. But if there is no dispute, then it is obligatory upon everyone to correct the situation, and that the documents in her hands that attribute her to other than her father be removed, and that she be given a document with the attribution to her correct father. We ask Allah for guidance for everyone.
The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good. You mentioned, Your Eminence, that in her message, if she corrects her situation and attributes herself to her real father, that she will lose things and things, especially since she is in a prestigious position, as she says. What is your guidance, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh: Even if she loses it, it is not permissible for her to take something by lying. It is obligatory upon her to leave the lying, even if she loses millions. It is not permissible for her to remain in this state forever. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good. So the advice of Your Eminence to this listener is: that she correct her situation, even if she loses whatever she loses.
The Shaykh: Yes, yes, even if she loses the job, and other than the job. Yes.
The presenter: We seek help from Allah. May Allah reward you with good and do you well.
