The text does not state a final ruling on establishing lineage.

No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.
Summary
The text does not state a final ruling on establishing lineage. The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed that further discussion be held with the specialist doctor concerned. Clarification was sought on the baby's age at delivery, stated as 25 of pregnancy without a unit, which when projected backwards does not match the mother's marriage date. The doctor was also asked to confirm whether the pregnancy occurred after the marriage contract.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
