This paper, therefore, explores the contemporary scholars’ polemics over the position of DNA profiling among other Islamic legal proofs of establishing the legitimacy of children. The paper finds that giving precedence to the traditional methods of establishing a genealogical relationship over DNA would not only safeguard the value of the family institution but also the divine texts.
