The answer

Issues involving lawsuits and disputes are to be referred to the judiciary, especially if they have been presented to it and a ruling has been issued.

Generally, a child born on the marital bed is attributed to the husband, unless the husband denies paternity through li'an, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "The child is for the bed [i.e., the marital bed]."

The default state for a Muslim is innocence, and it is not permissible to accuse them without proof. Bad conjecture must be avoided, especially between spouses.

Calamities may be a test from Allah for His servant and are not necessarily a punishment for a sin. Allah does not wrong people in the least. We advise patience and forgiveness, for there is a great reward in them.
