Who inherits from a child whose father denied paternity but subsequently confirmed it?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Walā' (Patronage)
Primary text
If the father denies the children and the mother's patrons inherit from the deceased child, and then the father confirms the lineage by retracting his denial (akthaba nafsahu), the lineage is established retroactively to the time of the child's birth, and the father's side recovers the inheritance from the mother's patrons.
