The Shortest Period of Pregnancy is Six Months

Question :

I was away from my wife for a period of one year, and then I returned to her. 8 months and 25 days after I arrived, she gave birth. I have some doubts about the five days missing from the full nine months, so please advise me.

Answer:

One should not have doubts about his wife if she is pregnant for less than nine months before giving birth; the shortest period of pregnancy is six months. This is based Allah's saying:
"And the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months."

"And his weaning is in two years."

This proves that the shortest period is six months, so if a woman gives birth in the seventh month or onward, there is no reason to doubt her.

And Allâh is the Grantor of success,
