Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a man divorces his wife, and after three months the woman says: "I am pregnant," and the husband denies her pregnancy, then li'an will be obligatory.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a man performs li'an with his slave woman and then buys her, he should not have intercourse with her, because the established Sunnah is that those who have performed li'an are never joined together.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a husband performs li'an with his wife before consummation, then the woman will receive half the dowry.
