A Child Born after Coitus Interruptus or Sterilization Has Established Lineage

Question

Question: (1) If a child is born despite ‘azl (coitus interruptus), will his lineage be established (thabit al-nasab) or not? (2) Is the lineage of a child born after sterilization established?

Answer

(1) His lineage will be established: [ar]الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَر[/ar] “The child belongs to the bed, and for the fornicator is the stone” (“Sahih al-Bukhari”). (2) Even then his lineage will be established: [ar]الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَر[/ar] “The child belongs to the bed, and for the fornicator is the stone” (“Sahih al-Bukhari”).
