Ruling on Establishing Lineage Through DNA
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: In modern medicine, the lineage of a child is determined to see if he is the son of his parents or not, using what is called DNA analysis (nucleic acid). Is this sufficient for establishing lineage?
Answer:
No, this is not one of the proofs by which judgment is made in the Shari'ah. Yes, and the religion of Islam is built on covering up faults and not pursuing disliked matters by proving them. It is built on covering up faults and seeking repentance. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
