Hazrat Abdullah bin Ubaid bin Umair narrates that a brother from Banu Zuraiq wrote a letter to me and asked: What was the decision of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the child of the woman who performed li'an? So I wrote back to him in response that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) decided in favor of the mother regarding that child, that she is for that child both in the position of a father and in the position of a mother.
