Although prominent jurists have held that the blood money (diyah) for an illegitimate child born of adultery—if the child has professed Islam—is equivalent to that of a legitimate Muslim child, the legislator, in Article 552 of the Islamic Penal Code (2013), has adopted a less popular jurisprudential opinion. According to this view, the diyah of such a child is absolutely equal to that of a Muslim, regardless of whether the child has professed Islam. While both perspectives refer to hadiths as their basis, a review of the arguments and underlying principles reveals significant challenges in applying the hadiths to justify this ruling, particularly due to the absence of essential conditions for their applicability. Furthermore, despite the reliability of the sources and the content of narrations indicating that the diyah of an illegitimate child born of adultery is the same as that of a non-Muslim living under Islamic rule (Ahl al-Dhimmah), the legislator’s position appears to contradict these foundational texts. Given the absence of any differentiation in these narrations, the legislated view lacks sufficient jurisprudential support. The more accurate and well-supported position—based on the relevant hadiths—is that the diyah of an illegitimate child should be equivalent to that of an Ahl al-Dhimmah, which is eight hundred dirhams. Therefore, it seems necessary to revise the aforementioned legal article.
