Is an illegitimate child attributed to the husband, even if the adultery of the wife is proven, and it is also proven the child is not the husband's, but *Li'aan* isn't done by the husband? Is this Hadith from Sahih Muslim implemented? > حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ ‏.‏ غَيْرَ أَنَّ مَعْمَرًا وَابْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ فِي حَدِيثِهِمَا ‏"‏ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرَا ‏"‏ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ ‏"‏‏ > > *Sa'id ibn Mansur, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, and Amr al-Naqid narrated to us: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah narrated to us: 'Abd ibn Humayd narrated to us: 'Abd al-Razzaq informed us: Ma'mar informed us, both of them on the authority of al-Zuhri, with this chain of transmission similar to it. However, Ma'mar and Ibn 'Uyaynah included in their hadith:* **"The child belongs to the bed."

Can someone verify if this is true: > Ibn Al-Arabi said, “Lineage is an expression referring to the mixture > of fluids between a male and a female from a religious legal point of > view. However, if this union (between male and female) occurs through > disobedience (fornication) **then the resulting child is not considered** > **part of a person’s true lineage. That is why a daughter born from zina** > **is not mentioned in Allah’s saying, ‘Prohibited to you (for marriage)** > **are: your mothers and daughters’ (Surah 4:23) because she is not** > **considered a daughter according to the most authentic teaching of our** > **religion.. If there is no legal lineage then there is no legal** > **relationship; for zina does not prohibit (from marriage) the daughter** > of the mother (you committed zina with) nor the mother of a woman (you > committed zina with). […]I (Qurtubi) said: **The scholars have differed** > **on the permissibility of a man marrying his daughter who was the** > **result of an adulterous relationship; or for that matter marrying his** > **sister or granddaughter who was the result of zina.** Some prohibited > this type of relationship; among them was Ibn Al Qasim, which is also > the saying of Abu Hanifa and his companions. Others however al**lowed > this type of marriage such as Abdul Malik Al Maj’shun,** **which is also** > **the saying of Al-Shafi’i.** This was detailed in the explanation of > Surah 4 (Al Nisa’). > > Tafsir Al Qurtubi 25:54 Al Maududi seemed to have mentioned this and showed his disproval: > The prohibition about daughter also applies to the daughter of the son > and the daughter of the daughter. There is, however, a difference of > opinion in regard to a girl born of an illicit relationship. Imam Abu > Hanifah, Imam Malik and lmam Ahmad-bin-Hanbal (may Allah bless them > all) are of the opinion that she too is unlawful like the lawful > daughter, **but Imam Shafi 'i does not consider an illegitimate > daughter unlawful.** But the very idea is repugnant that one should > marry a girl about whom one has the knowledge that she is of one's own > seed. > > Tafsir Al Maududi 4:23 If this is true, why did Imam Al Shafi'i permit it. On what basis from the Qur'an and Sunnah? Or was it simply ijtihad?

Let's say Y is a boy. His parents are not married. His father left his mother as soon as she gave birth to Y. Then Y's mother was punished for committing adultery and she repented to Allah and married a man. Can Y introduce his mom's husband as his dad? If not then what will he tell people if they ask about their father? According to Islam, you are not allowed to tell you are son of someone who isn't your father.

Recently I have heard about this narration in a local gathering but the speaker did not give any references nor did he elaborate on this specific Hadith. **Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The child of adultery is worst of the three.** It was used when the speaker was talking about Zina and the negative effects of it to the society. I am having a hard time understanding this as the literal meaning tends to suggest that the innocent child born is also blame worthy. Can someone please clarify this hadith and explain what exactly am I missing here?.

Islam is against zina and condemns it and has rulings on punishing people who commit it like the punishment by stoning for married adulterers (on which at least all earlier scholars sunni's shi'a and ibadi's seem to agree) and we accept the hadith of the Ghamidi woman (الغامدية) whom has committed adultery during the time of the Prophet() whom's punishment was delayed until she gave birth and breast fed her child etc. (see also in sunan abi Dawod , an-Nasa'i and sahih Muslim ). I've not come across so far to any hadith explaining or presenting the future life of an offspring of such a relationship no matter if the parents have been punished by lashes or stoning. Therefore I'd like to know what the Islamic shari'a offers to protect a child of a haram relationship, such as it won't be treated badly or pointed at as a child of zina (negative attribute) in the community? *It would be great if the possibilities of punishment of the parents were addressed (for example stoned, punished by lashes, both, one)...*

There are some Hadiths that state that an illegitimate child cannot inherit the wealth of his biological father (See Sunan Ibn Majah 2745 and Jami` at-Tirmidhi, Vol. 4, Book 3, Hadith 2113). However, I have read somewhere that an illegitimate child can inherit the wealth of his biological mother. I would like to know what is the basis of this claim? Is there any evidence from the hadith scriptures that suggests that an illegitimate child can inherit wealth of his biological mother? What if such a child is poor and there is no one there to look after him after his or her parents have given birth to hom/her and left such a child without any support?

Is the biological father of an illegitimate daughter mahram to her? If not, does she have to do Hijab from him? And does she not inherit property from him?
