Will The Child Be Mine?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Mahmoodiyah

Question:

Salaam,
My cousin told me about his problem and he told me that he has a Christian girlfriend and they’ve committed a sin, which makes the women pregnant. Now, my cousin is working abroad (Saudi Arabia) and he wants to know if its ok if he will  marry that woman on the time of his vacation? Will it make his child illegitimate? Maybe you know what is the situation and I want to hear advices from you so that I can tell it to my cousin. As I was researching, I read your article about an illegitimate child. So I think I came to the right person to seek guidance Insha Allah


Answer:

 

 

We advice your cousin to get married to his girlfriend and support the child. In Shari’ah, he will not be the father of the child. The Nisbat of the child will be to the mother; thus, he will also inherit from her when she dies. Your cousin should also seek Allah’s forgiveness for the sin committed.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best
