Section: As for the woman in li'an, she is not entitled to housing or maintenance if she is not pregnant, according to the report. The same applies if she is pregnant and he denies the pregnancy, and we say that it is negated [from him, or we say that it is negated] by the disappearance of the marital bed. But if we say it is not negated by his denial, or if he does not deny it and we say that its lineage is attached to him, then she is entitled to housing and maintenance; because that is either for the fetus, or for her because of it, and it is present, so she resembles the irrevocably divorced woman. If he denies the pregnancy, and her mother spends on her, and she dwells outside of the husband's [home], and she breastfeeds, then the husband who performed the li'an later acknowledges the child, the child is attached to him, and he becomes liable for the maintenance and the wages of housing and breastfeeding. This is because she performed that based on the premise that he had no father, so when a father is established for him, he becomes liable for it, and it is recovered from him. If it is said: The maintenance for the sake of the pregnancy is maintenance of relatives, and it lapses with the passage of time, so how can she recover from him what lapses from him? We say: Rather, the maintenance of a pregnant woman is for the sake of the pregnancy, so it does not lapse, just like her maintenance during life. Even if we concede that it is for the sake of the fetus, it is nevertheless disbursed to her, and her right is attached to it, so it does not lapse with the passage of time, just like her maintenance.

Section: As for the woman whose waiting period (iddah) is due to the death of her husband, if she is not pregnant, she has no housing or maintenance because the marriage has ceased due to death. If she is pregnant, there are two narrations regarding her. The first: She is entitled to housing and maintenance because she is pregnant by her husband, so she is entitled to housing and maintenance, like a woman separated [from her husband] during his life. The second: She has no housing or maintenance because the wealth has become the property of the heirs, and the maintenance and housing of a pregnant woman is only for the fetus or because of it, and this is not binding upon the heirs; because if the deceased has an estate, the maintenance of the fetus comes from his share, and if he has no estate, it is not incumbent upon the heir of the deceased to provide maintenance for the fetus of his wife, just as [it is not binding] after birth. Al-Qadi said: This narration is more correct.

Section: And whether the maintenance of the fetus is incumbent upon the pregnant woman for the sake of the pregnancy or for the fetus, there are...
