You are talking out of Ignorance!

Quran is not the only source of Islamic Law!.
Which hadith said we should not conduct a DNA test. The problem is times have changed immensely. During the times of the prophets there was no such thing as DNA and paternity fraud. We live in the 20th century where women can sleep with anything even a dog. And you expect people to believe DNA is haram. Do you know the emotional pain and trauma that comes with training a child that is not yours

I was surprised when my comment on that Yoruba actress that said some men offer her "as little as 500k" was deleted by these bunch of agbado moderators. Tueh

Religion of anger.
Re: Cleric Warns Against DNA Tests For Paternity, Calls It Forbidden In Islam by LivingEarthMan(m):
The best and permanent solution to paternity fraud to me is not even DNA test. It is for government to make a law declaring that if a woman is confirmed to be pregnant after legal marriage, the child automatically belongs to the husband and no Jupiter from anywhere can come out to claim the child, in fact any man who comes out to claim the child would be jailed for life.

And if the wife takes the child to the biological father or inform the child that her husband is not the real father she would be jailed for life.

And the child is permanently banned by law from ever recognising the illegitimate father as his or her father even if the legal father dead

This type of law would permanent stop paternity fraud.

This ustaz is just chasing clout. Everything was not said in the Qur'an. That doesn't make it haram. E.g listening to music,masturbating.
Conducting a DNA is to ascertain the owner of the child. The holy book did not say you just take a burden that is not your own. Please everybody should ignore this man. He's not one of us
On top this matter? 😂

Why can't you just face your Christianity squarely?
What is "surat"? grin
Why capitalizing on my religion?

Ask google what surat abi na Sukurat it is. Ask it. It will reply

Learn to read and comprehend. I said compulsory in other words mandatory.
As soon as a child is brought into the world in any given hospital in Nigeria, DNA test should be conducted immediately

Learn how to think before you write rubbish, who ask you to go for wayward wife that would now force you to do DNA?

If you have bastard kids, is that a business of anybody?


It's not only DNA test it should compulsory, even the drug test should be conducted on guys and the number of women they sleep with before marriage.

For the first time in my history in the social media space I've supported anything from an Islamic cleric. " Anybody that engages in adultery in a legal marriage should get nothing". Religion has never been a problem to humanity, rogue Messengers have always been the source of all mayhem.

General Islamic Principles on Paternity

Lineage in Shariah is very important because it affects inheritance, family rights, and identity.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“The child belongs to the (owner of) the bed (i.e., the husband), and for the fornicator is the stone (i.e., nothing).”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

This means if a woman is married, her child is attributed to her husband, unless he denies it formally (through liʿān – mutual cursing procedure).

🧬 DNA Testing and Paternity in Islam

Most contemporary scholars do not forbid DNA testing outright.

They allow it as a supporting tool for establishing paternity, but not as the primary basis that overrides Shariah rules.

Key Scholarly Views:

Permissible as Evidence:

The International Islamic Fiqh Academy (OIC) and many national fatwa councils (e.g., in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia) say DNA can be used to:

Confirm or deny paternity in disputes.

Identify unknown children (orphans, lost children).

Support criminal investigations (rape cases).

Limits on Use:

In a marriage, paternity is still tied to the husband unless he denies it through the liʿān process. DNA cannot override this default.

DNA may be used to support or clarify claims, but not to replace the Shariah principle of “the child belongs to the bed.”

Cases of Zina (fornication/adultery):

If a child is conceived outside wedlock, DNA can prove biological fatherhood, but Shariah usually does not assign legal lineage (nasab) to the man unless he marries the mother and acknowledges the child.

✅ Conclusion

Islam does not forbid DNA testing for paternity.

It is considered permissible and useful as supporting evidence.

However, it does not replace Shariah rules on lineage, especially in cases of marriage and legitimacy.

How does that solve the root of the problem that as a man you're not continuing your bloodline? How does this resolve the fact that as a man you're raising the seed of another man?
