Assalaam alaikum,
In the US IF a man has to give child support in some states he may get visitation and custody rights. The matter is financial.
Now, Quran is absolute. We qualify hadiths.
Rape does not belong to zina in Islam.
We need a thread on forgiveness.
rape is not zinah !!!!
where is your proof from Islam that the son belongs to rapist and he has his rights etc ?
Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
The scholars are unanimously agreed that the rapist is to be subjected to the hadd punishment if there is clear evidence against him that he deserves the hadd punishment, or if he admits to that. (Al-Istidhkaar, 7/146)
Some scholars also say that he is required to pay a mahr to the woman.
Imam Maalik (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
In our view the man who rapes a woman, whether she is a virgin or not, if she is a free woman he must pay a “dowry” like that of her peers, and if she is a slave he must pay whatever has been detracted from her value. The punishment is to be carried out on the rapist and there is no punishment for the woman who has been raped, whatever the case. End quote.
