Praise be to Allah

The nature of Shariah is such that, it endeavours to abstain from humiliating anybody by referring them to adultery or illegitimacy as much as possible. It tries its best to attribute the child to the husband of the mother.

There is a famous Hadith recorded by Imam Muslim and others in which the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:

“The child will be attributed to the husband and the adulterer will receive the stone.” (Sahih Muslim)

The meaning of this Hadith is that, the right of paternity will be for the person with whom the mother of the child is married to.

In such cases, paternity will not be established with the adulterer. This however, does not always mean that the child in reality is of the husband. Rather, due to the Shariah not considering and accepting the role of the adulterer, it gave this right to the person who is in the contract of marriage with the mother. Even if DNA tests prove the child to be of the adulterer, paternity will not be established with him. The social wisdom behind this is clear to all those who reflect.

The Hadith also says that the adulterer will receive the stone, meaning that he is liable to be stoned as punishment and not receive the child or (as some scholars have explained) the meaning of stone here is “deprivation”, meaning he will not have the right for paternity.

What if the husband denies the child?

In the situation where the husband denies the child to be his and the wife agrees with him, the child will still not be attributed to the adulterer; neither will paternity be established with the husband. The child in this case will be only attributed to its mother.

It should also be known that when we say ‘establishing paternity’ here, it means the right of inheritance for the child, the right of keeping the child for the one with whom paternity is established, and also the obligation of sustenance and financial support, etc

NeoWanZaeed:
THIS FATAWA IS CORRECT. . VERY CORRECT. THE HADITH HAS CLEARED IT ALL. MEANWHILE C0NDUCTING DNA TEST IS A GREAT SIN. The adulterer just wasted his sperm. The kids will never be attributed to him and a muslim wil never reject such kid. Islamic law binds the kid to you.

In short, Islam allows you to keep a bastard child as your own and deny the real father his child.
Wehdone

Islamic ruling on child marriage

Islamic ruling on money ritual

Islamic ruling on terrorism

Islamic ruling on the supposed 72 virgin's after blowing people's head off

Islamic ruling on fighting for Allah

Islamic ruling on islamization by force.

Lets make topic on this and not all these irrelevant subjects

Btw, i dont believe in that creed..I, however, believe that Jesus christ is the son of God and his only messenger.

Lukgaf:
There has been a sad news circulating on the media since last week about a man who died of heart attack because a DNA result attributed the two kids he nurtured with his legitimate wife to his wife's boss, an FCMB's MD. What does Islam says about this and who are the children supposed to be attributed according to Shariah? Below I provide the islamic ruling on DNA testing to establish paternity.
Hmmm
