the first. If he performed li'an regarding her before the delivery of the first, and she gave birth to a child, then gave birth to another after six months, the second is not attached to him; because she was separated [from him] by the li'an, and her 'idda (waiting period) expired with the delivery of the first, and her second pregnancy was after the expiration of her 'idda, not within a marriage, so he did not need to negate it.

Section: If one of the twins dies, or both die together, he has the right to perform li'an to negate their lineage. Al-Shafi'i held this view (26). Abu Hanifa said: The lineage of the living one is binding upon him, and he does not perform li'an except to negate the hadd (punishment); because it is not valid to negate the deceased through li'an, for his lineage has already been severed by his death, so there is no need to negate it through li'an, just as if his wife had died, he does not perform li'an with her after her death, due to the termination of the marriage, as it has been severed. And if the deceased is not negated, the living one is not negated; because they are one pregnancy. We say: The deceased is attributed to him, as it is said: "Son of so-and-so." It is binding upon him to prepare him [for burial] and shroud him, so he has the right to negate his lineage and absolve himself of his expenses, like the living one, and just as if the deceased had a child.

The entirety of this matter is that if a man performs li'an against his wife and negates her child, then declares himself a liar [regarding his previous testimony], the child is attached to him if it is alive, without disagreement among the scholars. And if it is dead, its lineage is also attached to him, according to the opinion of the majority of scholars, whether it [the child] had a child or not, and whether it left behind wealth or not. This is because lineage is a right of the child; so if he acknowledges it, it becomes binding upon him, regardless of whether his previous denial preceded it or not. And because the cause for negating it from him was his own denial of it, so if he declares himself a liar, the cause for the negation has vanished and is invalidated; thus, it is necessary that its lineage be attached to him by virtue of the marriage, which requires the attachment of his lineage to him.

Section: Slander (qadhf) is of three types: Obligatory, which is when he sees his wife committing adultery during a period of purity in which he has not had intercourse (2) with her; for it is incumbent upon him to distance himself from her until her 'idda concludes. When she brings forth a child six months from
