When will a child be considered legitimate?
Question
After marriage if anybody comes to know that his child is not legitimate, is there any way to make it valid or legitimate?
Answer
If a child is born six months after the nikaah was consummated then it will be legitimate and it will be the husband's child.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
