“This is a pronouncement of abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who falls upon the slave-girl of a people in an unlawful manner. He then buys her and claims her child. He (the Imam) has said, ’He cannot inherit from such child because the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “A child belongs to the bed (owner thereof) and the fornicator deserve stones (to be stoned to death as penalty with due judicial process).” A child born out of wedlock cannot be inherited or made to inherit except in the case of a man who claims the child of his slave-girl.’”
