The answer

A married woman's pregnancy is attributed to her husband, whether he is present, absent, or imprisoned, unless the husband denies the paternity through li'an (oath of condemnation). This is based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The child belongs to the bed, and for the fornicator is the stone." This child is attributed to her husband unless he denies paternity through li'an.
