Is the hadith "The child of zina shall not enter Paradise" authentic?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The "The child of zina will not enter Paradise" is not authentic. Many scholars have included it among the fabricated hadiths, such as Mulla Ali al-Qari in his two books: "Al-Asrar al-Marfu'ah fi al-Akhbar al-Mawdu'ah" and "Al-Masnu' fi Ma'rifat al-Hadith al-Mawdu'." Isma'il ibn Muhammad al-'Ajluni said about it: "It is circulated on tongues but has no basis." The author of Al-Qamus in Safar al-Sa'adah described it as "false."
