Inheritance Of An Illegitimate Child by Rashduct4luv(m): 12:01pm On Jan 17, 2020
Question
Can a bastard child inherit from his father? If no why? Please give me authorities from Qur'an, Sunnah and other relevant Islamic sources.

Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

The child of Zina (who was born outside wedlock) is traced back to his mother's lineage and to her family. The rules of Mahram apply to him in relation to his relatives from the mother's side only. His/her legal Wali is from the mother's side and he inherits from that side which is the only one that inherits from him and to which he is legally linked. So, all other rules concerning fatherhood stem directly from the mother's side. Therefore, the child born outside legal wedlock is not traced back to his father, nor does any of them inherit from the other. This is the most preponderant opinion and it is the opinion of the majority of scholars.

Some scholars, however, believe that he can be traced to his father if the latter accepts him as his son. This is the opinion of Is'haq Ibn Rahawayh, Urwah, Sulayman Ibn Yasar and Abu Hanifa . Imam Abu Hanifa says: 'I do not find any harm that a man who makes Zina (adultery and fornication) with a woman and she gets pregnant as a result, that this man protects the honor of this woman by marrying her and the child is his' .

But there is sound evidence backing the opinion of the majority of scholars which is the judgment reported from the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) about the child of Zina: "The Prophet (peace be upon him) decided regarding one who was treated as a member of a family after the death of his father, to whom he was attributed when the heirs said he was one of them, that if he was the child of a slave-woman whom the father owned when he had intercourse with her, he was included among those who sought his inclusion, but received none of the inheritance which was previously divided; he, however, received his portion of the inheritance which had not already been divided; but if the father to whom he was attributed had disowned him, he was not joined to the heirs. If he was a child of a slave-woman whom the father did not possess or of a free woman with whom he had illicit intercourse, he was not joined to the heirs and did not inherit even if the one to whom he was attributed is the one who claimed paternity, since he was a child of fornication whether his mother was free or a slave" . [Reported by Imams Ahmad , Abu Dawood , Ibn Majah and al-Darimi ].

Allah knows best.

Very true.

In Islam, a child born out of wedlock cannot has no right to claim anything from his biological father. He/she can't inherit and can't use his surname.

Unfortunately, most firstborns of today are bastards. We ask Allaah for safety.

grin, I like sheep like you, first according to Bible did Hagar do wrong? No, Hagar was a slave that she need to obey her master command, was marriage between Hagar and Abraham legal or illegal? It's legal Abraham did not slept with hagar in in secret,it was Shara that give Hagar to Abraham by herself remember Hagar was a slave she can't reject the command of her master, did God against what happened between Hagar and Abraham? No God is in support but Shara full of jealous that is what cause separate between Hagar and Abraham, and God promise Ishmael of Good things,

But do you know that lineage of Jesus is a bastard? Go and read what happened between Judah and his daughter-in-law and trace it back to Joseph the adopted father of Jesus

Jesus is from lineage of bastard that is why Joseph can't be a king on the house of David and Jesus can never be a king on Israeli because they re lineage of bastard,

What do you even know what a Doi'f Hadith is? You don't open your mouth and speak if you're ignorant of anything. When Allah and His Messangsr give a ruling, as a Muslim, you follow and don't complain.

In this case, that is the ruling if you like it or not.
There are actually punishment for the parent.
The son can only inherit his mother and vise-versa but not with the father. He'll also be given any Muslim name as surname but not the Man's name.

If you need further explanation, please enroll into Madrasah. Shikenah.

To me there's no bastard child anywhere.

A child born outside wedlock can't inherit his father property because, his biological father has not done the rightfully needs to his mother, a man that doesn't pay dowry to his in-law is just an ordinary thief which stole without the owner consent and the family.

If by mistakes the mother died after giving birth to the child, and the father came back after several years, he would the right thing before taking the child and the child has the opportunity to be a part owner of the property

In response to your question, we cannot change any laws because they are from Allah as revealed to His prophets and not man made. And we were created by Allah to serve and worship Him and not worship man. Thus, we do not change our laws to satisfy the whims and caprices of some human with whom we were all created equal! What's reigning is according to man's desires for himself.

Hajara was NOT a slave! She was gifted to Sarah and her husband (Abraham) by an Egyptian king; which means Hajara’s actually a princess.

The intimate relationship btw her and Abraham was approved by everyone (Hajara’s father, Abraham and Sarah as well), therefore technically, she was Abraham’s wife... if we are talking about illegitimacy, its Sarah and her son Isaac, that are actually illegitimate because Sarah was Abraham’s sister!

Can anyone here marry their own sister, bear a child together, and then say that child is a legitimate child? I don’t think so!
