Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) led a funeral prayer and then said to the husband (while the woman had a child from another man): "It is not right for you to lay claim to a share that is not yours."

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) and Umarah said: He should not approach her until it becomes evident whether there is a pregnancy or not.
