Fornication (unmarried people) Narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood and Ibn Maajah from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb from his father from his grandfather who said:
"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ruled that whoever is born to a slave woman who was not owned by his father, or (was born to) a free woman with whom (the father) committed zina, then he cannot be attributed to him nor can he inherit, even if the one to whom he is attributed claims him as a son. He is the child of fornication whether his mother was a free woman or a slave." Ahmad (7002), Abu Dawood (2265) and Ibn Maajah (2746) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adultery (married people) The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "The child is to be attributed to the husband and the adulterer deserves nothing."
