Hadith 2113

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ عَاهَرَ بِحُرَّةٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ ، فَالْوَلَدُ وَلَدُ زِنَا لَا يَرِثُ وَلَا يُورَثُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَقَدْ رَوَى غَيْرُ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ : أَنَّ وَلَدَ الزِّنَا لَا يَرِثُ مِنْ أَبِيهِ .
´Amr bin Shu'aib narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah(S.A.W) said:` "Any man who fornicates with a free woman, or a slave woman, then the child born from Zina does not inherit, nor is it inherited from."

Benefits and Issues:

In matters such as inheritance, only that lineage is considered valid in Islamic law which is based on the legal relationship of marriage (nikah).
A child born as a result of adultery (zina), although in reality is the son of the adulterer, this relationship is not legally recognized; nor can this person inherit from the adulterer in the event of his death.


In establishing the maternal relationship, it makes no difference whether the relationship was lawful or unlawful; therefore, the inheritance relationship is established between an illegitimate child and his mother.
Similarly, the inheritance relationship with maternal relatives also remains established.
