21. Book of Inheritance
٢١۔ كِتَابُ الْفَرَائِضِ
[Machine] Regarding Ali and Abdullah, they said, "The child of adultery is considered like the son of condemnation."
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَا «وَلَدُ الزِّنَا بِمَنْزِلَةِ ابْنِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ»
[Machine] "A child of adultery is not inherited by the one who claims him, nor is he inherited by the biological offspring."
«أَنَّ وَلَدَ الزِّنَا لَا يَرِثُهُ الَّذِي يَدَّعِيهِ وَلَا يَرِثُهُ الْمَوْلُودُ»
[Machine] "It was considered that the child of adultery does not inherit, even if claimed by a man."
«أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يُوَرِّثُ وَلَدَ الزِّنَا وَإِنْ ادَّعَاهُ الرَّجُلُ»
[Machine] "Whichever man comes to a boy, claiming to be his son and that he had illicit relations with his mother, and no one else claims that boy, then he will inherit him."
Bukayr said, "I asked Urwah about this and he said it is like the saying of Sulayman ibn Yasar." Urwah also said, "We have received information that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The child belongs to the one who slept on the bed, and the stoning is for the adulterer.'"
«أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَتَى إِلَى غُلَامٍ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ ابْنٌ لَهُ وَأَنَّهُ زَنَى بِأُمِّهِ وَلَمْ يَدَّعِ ذَلِكَ الْغُلَامَ أَحَدٌ فَهُوَ يَرِثُهُ» قَالَ بُكَيْرٌ وَسَأَلْتُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ»
[Machine] "The son of a cursed person is like the son of adultery, inheriting from his mother and his mother's inheritors inherit from him."
«ابْنُ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ مِثْلُ وَلَدِ الزِّنَا تَرِثُهُ أُمُّهُ وَوَرَثَتُهُ وَرَثَةُ أُمِّهِ»
«لَا يُوَرَّثُ وَلَدُ الزِّنَا»
[Machine] "They inherit from their mothers, and if she gives birth to twins and dies, the sixth inherits."
«يَتَوَارَثُونَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأُمَّهَاتِ وَإِنْ وَلَدَتْ تَوْأَمًا فَمَاتَ وَرِثَ السُّدُسَ»
[Machine] "The child of adultery does not inherit, only the one who has not established paternity or who is owned by his mother through marriage or purchase inherits."
«لَا يَرِثُ وَلَدُ الزِّنَا إِنَّمَا يَرِثُ مَنْ لَمْ يُقَمْ عَلَى أَبِيهِ الْحَدُّ أَوْ تُمْلَكُ أُمُّهُ بِنِكَاحٍ أَوْ شِرَاءٍ»
[Machine] About Al-Hasan in regard to a man who divorces a woman and then marries her, he said, "There is no harm except if she is pregnant, as the child will not follow him."
عَنْ الْحَسَنِ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَفْجُرُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ ثُمَّ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا قَالَ «لَا بَأْسَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ حُبْلَى فَإِنَّ الْوَلَدَ لَا يَلْحَقُهُ»
The Prophet ﷺ 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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2265)
أن رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَضَى أَنَّ كُلِّ مُسْتَلْحَقٍ اسْتُلْحِقَ بَعْدَ أَبِيهِ الَّذِي يُدْعَى لَهُ ادَّعَاهُ وَرَثَتُهُ بَعْدَهُ فَقَضَى إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَمَةٍ يَمْلِكُهَا يَوْمَ يَطَؤُهَا فَقَدْ لَحِقَ بِمَنِ اسْتَلْحَقَهُ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ فيمَّا قُسِمَ قَبْلَهُ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ شَيْءٌ وَمَا أَدْرَكَ مِنْ مِيرَاثٍ لَمْ يُقْسَمْ فَلَهُ نَصِيبُهُ وَلَا يَلْحَقُ إِذَا كَانَ الَّذِي يُدْعَى لَهُ أَنْكَرَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَمَةٍ لَا يَمْلِكُهَا أَوْ حُرَّةٍ عَاهَرَهَا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَلْحَقُ وَلَا يَرِثُ وَإِنْ كَانَ الَّذِي يُدْعَى لَهُ هُوَ ادَّعَاهُ فهُوَ وَلَدُ زِنَا لِأَهْلِ أُمِّهِ مَنْ كَانُوا حُرَّةً أَوْ أَمَةً»
[Machine] "Do not buy it, do not eat its price, and do not use it."
«لَا تَبِعْهُ وَلَا تَأْكُلْ ثَمَنَهُ وَاسْتَخْدِمْهُ»
وَسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا «يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ»
[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ decreed that the inheritance of the cursed individual's son should all go to his mother due to the hardships she endured.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «قَضَى بِمِيرَاثِ ابْنِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ لِأُمِّهِ كُلِّهِ لِمَا لَقِيَتْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْعَنَاءِ»
[Machine] "He said concerning the child of adultery to his mother's guardians: 'Take him, as you inherit him and understand him, and he will not inherit you.'"
أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي وَلَدِ الزِّنَا لِأَوْلِيَاءِ أُمِّهِ «خُذُوهُ إْنَكُمْ تَرِثُونَهُ وَتَعْقِلُونَهُ وَلَا يَرِثُكُمْ»
