The ruling when two men both claim custody of a foundling (laqit), one claiming him as a son and the other as a daughter.

Primary text

If two men claim custody of a foundling, one asserting the child is his son and the other asserting the child is his daughter, the ruling follows the specific claim made. If the child is determined to be a male, the custody is assigned to the claimant asserting he is the son. If the child is determined to be a female, custody is assigned to the claimant asserting she is the daughter, because each claimant is only entitled to what they specifically claimed.
