[Out-of-wedlock but clamed child inheritance]

السؤال

Good day Sir, I happened to have a question regarding inheritance. The question goes like this : a man was born by an unbelieving unmarried woman. Later on the man who fathered the child, a Muslim came along and claimed his son, and they lived together till the man died. At the Shari`ah court, during the sitting for sharing the inheritance, the man's name was submitted along with the other children fathered by the same father. The court ruled and divided the inheritance accordingly with the man getting his share. I, on my part, tried to do some searching regarding the validity of such action and got confused, because some scholars agreed that a person born outside wedlock once accepted by the father as his son, he can be given inheritance, while some scholars opposed it. I would kindly like to know your knowledgeable opinion on these. Thank you.
