It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) gave the verdict regarding the son of the woman involved in li‘an that he should not be called by reference to his father, and that whoever accuses this woman or her children should be subjected to the punishment for slander. Furthermore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) also ordered that the husband of this woman is not responsible for her maintenance or accommodation, because the separation between them is not due to divorce or the husband's death, but for another reason.
