FATWA ON THE LINEAGE OF CHILDREN FROM THE MARRIAGE OF A MUSLIM MAN WITH A KITABIYYAH WOMAN
Based on the Perlis Fatwa issued on 1 June 2010 regarding the permissibility of marriage with women of the People of the Book (ahlul kitab), the child born as a result of such marriage is legitimately attributed in lineage to the father and is a Muslim. Consequently, all related rulings are also established.
