The Sufficient (Vol 7) · Hadith 515 (#Ḥadīth #1)

1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ فَجَرَ بِنَصْرَانِيَّةٍ فَوَلَدَتْ مِنْهُ غُلاماً فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ ثُمَّ مَاتَ فَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ وَلَداً غَيْرَهُ أَيَرِثُهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from ibn Ri’ab from Hanna ibn Sadir who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah , about the case of a man who commits the indecent act with a Christian woman; and she gives birth to a boy and he claims him to be his child; then he dies leaving behind no other heirs except that boy; if he can inherit him. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can inherit him.’”
