from every part of the estate. Regarding the followers of al-Shafi'i, in the case where the acknowledger is truthful between himself and God Almighty, is he obligated to pay the acknowledged person his share? There are two views. One of them is that he is obligated to do so, and this is the most correct view. And is he obligated to pay him half of what is in his hand or a third? [There are two views on this].
Section: If all the heirs acknowledge the lineage of someone who shares in the inheritance with them, his lineage is established, regardless of whether the heirs are one person or a group, male or female. This is the opinion of al-Shafi'i, Abu Yusuf, and it is narrated from Abu Hanifa; because the heir stands in the place of the deceased regarding his inheritance, his debts, the debts owed to him, his evidence, his claims, and the oaths that are for him and against him, and likewise in the case of lineage. Aisha narrated that Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas and 'Abd ibn Zam'a disputed over the son of the slave-woman of Zam'a. Sa'd said: "My brother 'Utba instructed me when I came to Mecca to look at the son of the slave-woman of Zam'a and take him, for he is his son." 'Abd ibn Zam'a said: "He is my brother and the son of my father's slave-woman, born on his bedding (firash)." The Messenger of God - peace and blessings of God be upon him - said: "He is yours, O 'Abd ibn Zam'a, and for the fornicator is the stone." He judged in favor of 'Abd ibn Zam'a and said: "Observe the hijab (veiling) from him, O Sawda." The well-known view from Abu Hanifa is that it is not established except by the acknowledgement of two men, or one man and two women.
