Summary
The Perlis State Fatwa Committee decided that an illegitimate child whom the court has named as the son or daughter of the father (bin or binti) and that father inherit from each other. The rulings on marriage guardianship and mahram status also apply between them. This ruling is conditional on the child having been attributed to the father by a court order.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Anak yang telah dibinkan oleh mahkamah kepada bapanya, mereka saling mewarisi harta pusaka, terlaksana hukum-hakam perwalian dan mahramiyyah (status mahram).
