"bastard (child of adultery)"

A child born from zina — the Islamic term for illegal sexual intercourse (both adultery and fornication). More theologically precise than 'ibn haram,' this insult names the exact crime: your parents committed zina, a sin punishable by stoning or lashing under strict sharia. You are the living evidence of a capital crime.

Extremely serious accusation — rarely used casually. Carries potential legal implications in sharia-law contexts.
