Chapter on the Inheritance of a Child Whose Father Disowns Him After Previously Acknowledging Him

faqih-5669Vol. 4, p. 316

أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَقَرَّ بِوَلَدِهِ ثُمَّ انْتَفَى مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَ لَا كَرَامَةَ يُلْحَقُ بِهِ وَلَدُهُ إِذَا كَانَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ أَوْ وَلِيدَتِهِ[1].

"Any man who acknowledges his child and then later denies him has no right to do so, and he deserves no respect. His child will be attributed to him if the child is from his wife or his maidservant."
