The answer

The minimum duration of pregnancy is six months. Whoever is born after this period is a legitimate son of the owner of the marital bed, and there is no right to doubt or challenge his lineage, even if his mother was unchaste. A child born out of wedlock is permitted to marry and do what other Muslims do.
