Hadith record

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il ibn Bazi’ and al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Hanan ibn Sadir who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a Muslim man who commits the indecent act with a Jewish woman who gives birth; then he dies leaving behind no other heirs. He (the Imam) said, ‘The legacy must be kept safe from the Jewish woman for the child.’ I then asked about a Christian man who commits the indecent act with a Muslim woman and she gives birth to a boy; then the Christian man dies, leaving behind an asset and about who inherits him? He (the Imam) said, ‘His legacy belongs to his child from the Muslim woman.’”
