33:5

اُدْعُوهُمْ لِاٰبَٓائِهِمْ هُوَ اَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۚ فَاِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمُٓوا اٰبَٓاءَهُمْ فَاِخْوَانُكُمْ فِی الدّٖینِ وَمَوَالٖیكُمْؕ وَلَیْسَ عَلَیْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ فٖیمَٓا اَخْطَاْتُمْ بِهٖۙ وَلٰكِنْ مَا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْؕ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُورًا رَحٖیمًا

OdAAoohum liabaihim huwa aqsatu AAinda Allahi fain lam taAAlamoo abaahum faikhwanukum fee alddeeni wamawaleekum walaysa AAalaykum junahun feema akhtatum bihi walakin ma taAAammadat quloobukum wakana Allahu ghafooran raheeman

Translations

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 [still] your brothers in religion and those entrusted to you. And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred but [only for] what your hearts intended. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful

Saheeh International

Proclaim their real parentage. That will be more equitable in the sight of Allah. And if ye know not their fathers, then (they are) your brethren in the faith, and your clients. And there is no sin for you in the mistakes that ye make unintentionally, but what your hearts purpose (that will be a sin for you). Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful
