Question:
A man committed zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) with a woman, and she became pregnant from him, and then he married her afterwards. Does this child become attributed to him, since both the zina and the marital bed have now come together from him?
Answer:
No. A child is not attributed to a father except through a valid contract or a defective contract under a misconception. As for fornication and zina, a child born of zina is not attributed to any man, but only to his mother. Yes.
