Summary
The child may be attributed to the husband if born after six months and two moments from the date of the marriage. If the child is born before this minimum period of pregnancy, scholars agree that lineage to the husband is not established. The exception is when the husband claims the child as his, since the claim is taken to mean that the pregnancy occurred before the marriage contract, whether through another contract, an invalid contract or a mistaken intercourse.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bayi tersebut boleh dinasabkan (bin / binti) kepada suami sekiranya bayi tersebut lahir selepas 6 bulan 2 lahzah (detik) lebih dari tarikh perkahwinan mereka.
