Traditionalists assume pre term birth can only be between 6 and 9 months.  But pre mature births can also be at 4 or 5 months.  Or there can also be natural abortion, the mother losing the child when the fetus is 2 or 3 months or earlier.  Secondly, babies born healthy after 5, 6, or 7 months of marriage is apparently zina not premature birth.  Even 6 months is very pre mature.  A baby born after 6 months due to mother’s biological or medical issues is never a healthy one.  Very often they don’t survive for long.  They look very frail, very small, significantly smaller than normal babies born after 9 months. Thus, they also weigh much less than normal babies.  The illogical traditional misinterpretation of V.46:15 astonishes me. But what else can we expect from ones like Tabari and Ibn Kathir who took such delight in spreading misinformation about the Noble Quran.

It should also be known that in the Sight of Allah Almighty there is no condemnation for the child born out of zina.  The condemnation in the Hereafter is only for the parents who commit zina and never repent and give up. The child will be judged according to their own belief and conduct.
