For any pregnancy that happens out of marriage, the baby will be attributed to his mother and be considered as fatherless. He will carry his mother's family name. His only legitimate relatives will be those from his mother's side…. There is no relationship between the biological father and his illegitimate children. If he has other children, they will not be considered the brothers and sisters of his illegitimate child. …. In other legal matters, such as custody, inheritance and financial liability, the biological father and his family are total strangers to the child.
A fatwa is a religious legal ruling.
