Does verse 13 of Surat Al-Qalam condemn those born out of wedlock?

The Islamic legal principle states that a person is only blamed for their own actions and sins. A child born out of wedlock is not the one who committed adultery, nor is he to blame for the sins of his parents. If the condition and actions of a child born out of wedlock are righteous, then he is praised and promised Paradise, based on the Almighty's saying: "And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another."

As for the word "zanim" mentioned in the Holy Qur'an, it has several interpretations: 1. One who falsely claims lineage: Someone who claims to belong to a people to whom he does not. 2. One with a "zanama": Refers to a physical mark, like the "zanama" (a protuberance or fleshy appendage) on the neck, by which a person was known. 3. One notorious for evil: A person known for his bad character and wickedness.

A child born out of wedlock is not condemned merely because of his birth. Rather, he may be condemned if he falsely claims lineage, or if evil and bad character become manifest from him. However, if he follows the legitimate method of lineage and performs righteous deeds, his dignity is preserved, and he is promised Paradise, because recompense is based on deeds, not on lineage.
