Commentary
If a child is claimed by several persons or a woman is suspected of having slept with several persons, it being unclear whose child it is, an expert and honest physiognomist may be asked to decide the issue. If physiognomy were a false science, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would not rejoice at the statement of the physiognomist.
