What is the ruling on a person attributing himself to someone other than his father in official documents due to compelling circumstances, while knowing his true lineage?

It is not permissible for anyone to attribute himself to other than his father while knowing who his father is. Nor is it permissible for a guardian to attribute his ward to himself or his tribe; rather, he must attribute him to his father. If his father is unknown, then he should be attributed by brotherhood or patronage. The evidence for this is the Almighty's saying: (Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers, then they are your brothers in religion and your protectors) [Al-Ahzab: 5], and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: (No man who claims to be the son of other than his father, knowing who his father is, but has disbelieved). If the error is not due to him, then he must strive to correct it in official documents, as the Permanent Committee has ruled. If official correction is impossible, then Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. In that case, he must publicize his true lineage among his relatives and those around him to prevent the mixing of lineages and rulings.
