Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues: (1) Many matters depend on the establishment or non-establishment of lineage, therefore, utmost caution is required in this regard.
(2) The meaning of disbelief (kufr) here is that this act is not befitting the dignity of a Muslim; such acts are done by disbelievers (kuffar).
