    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1245/1245/M=1431)

     

    According to Shariah, if the child is born after six months of nikah, it will be legitimate and his lineage will be proved, whether the husband paid the mahr of wife or not. The payment of mahr has nothing to do with the legitimacy of child.
