If a woman has breast feeded a girl once for a very little time and the same woman has a son, is it permissible that her son and that girl marries( she has breast feeded only once to that girl). They have already fixed the marriage.

asalamu'alaikom wa rahmatu allah wa baarakatu, I have a question that I couldn't find the answer. Let me explain. My mother breastfed my aunt when she was a baby. That makes her become my Rida'a sister ? . And if so, are her children my mahram or are they still my cousins? thank you for taking the time to try to explain this topic baaraka allahu fikom.

In Surah Baqarah (2) Allah says: > **Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever > wishes to complete the nursing [period].** Upon the father is the > mothers' provision and their clothing according to what is acceptable. > No person is charged with more than his capacity. No mother should be > harmed through her child, and no father through his child. And upon > the [father's] heir is [a duty] like that [of the father]. **And if they > both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and > consultation, there is no blame upon either of them. And if you wish > to have your children nursed by a substitute, there is no blame upon > you as long as you give payment according to what is acceptable.** And > fear Allah and know that Allah is Seeing of what you do. >
Quran 2:233 But with the rise of powdered infant milk, I see many mothers putting their babies on the bottle, not for any medical reason but *just for the sake of vanity.* Besides the fact that the child is not getting natural nutrients through milk from it's mother or foster-mother (as in the case of Prophet Muhammad), what view does the Islamic Shariah hold? **Can a mother forego her duty to breastfeed her baby without any valid medical reason? Is breastfeeding optional in Islam?**

In Islam it is not unusual that a child might be breast fed by somebody else than his own mother. In fact in my own family we have such cases, where two cousins were breast fed from one of their mothers. The prophet () himself was breast fed by Halimah as-Sa'adiya as we all know and she was a polytheist and converted to Islam later. And Muslims often had non-Muslim neighbours and in cases, especially in the early days of Islam and in case of conversion, family members who are/were non-Muslims. All this made me wonder if it is appropriate to have a non-Muslim breast feed a Muslim baby or are there any kind of limitations or conditions on the foster mother in fiqh books (like who can be foster mother, and when is it allowed to breast feed a kid that's not your own).

I know of his uncle Hamza ibn Abdul Mutalib, and his cousin Abu Sufyan ibn Al-Harith but I would like a complete list.

May Allah bless all of us. Dear brothers and sisters Assalam-Alaikum. I have a question regarding nikah. Whether the marriage of a man is allowed or not, with the younger daughter of his father's sister, who's mother (his aunt) breast-fed him only once before he get 2 years old with her elder daughter. The guys follows hanafi sect. And Abu-Hanifa's view (may Allah bless him with peace) is that even if a child is breast-fed once he is considered mahram. But other scholars and sects have different point of view about the times of breast feedings. So could you please give a right and brief answer? May Allah be our guide... Allah Hafez!

Can you tell the context of this hadith? From [Muwatta Malik](https://sunnah.com/urn/512870) : > Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Dinar said, "A man came to Abdullah ibn Umar when I waswith him at the place where judgments were given and asked him about the suckling of an older person. Abdullah ibn Umar replied, 'A man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said, 'I have a slave-girl and I used to have intercourse with her. My wife went to her and suckled her. When I went to the girl, my wife told me to watch out, because she had suckled her!' Umar told him to beat his wife and to go to his slave-girl because kinship by suckling was only by the suckling of the young

I have a question regarding nekah (marriage) between a foster sister or brother. Specifically, my mother breastfed the son of her sister 23 years ago, as I have gone through some of the answers about the same issue I got my answer to some extent based on ayats from Holy Quran and Hadith. But the part of question remained unanswered, which is my mother has been saying that I took Farhad (the son of her sister) for the purpose to breastfeed but I am not sure, about whether he drank my milk or not, since it was a long time ago. Can you please state is it permissible to make nekah with this person or not?

> Ibn Abu Mulaika reported that al-Qasim b. Muhammad b. Abu Bakr had narrated to him that 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Sahla bint Suhail b. 'Amr came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and said: > Messenger of Allah, Salim (the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa) is living with us in our house, and he has attained (puberty) as men attain it and has acquired knowledge (of the sex problems) as men acquire, whereupon he said: Suckle him so that he may become unlawful (in regard to marriage) for you He (Ibn Abu Mulaika) said: I REFRAINED (FROM NARRATING THIS HADITH) FOR A YEAR OR SO ON ACCOUNT OF FEAR. I then met al-Qasim and said to him: You narrated to me a hadith which I did not narrate (to anyone) afterwards. He said: What is that? I informed him, whereupon he said: Narrate it on my authority that 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) had narrated that to me. (Sahih Muslim Book 17 , Hadith 35; capital emphasis is mine) Certain critics have used ibn Abi Mulaika's concern to "prove" that there was physical contact in the suckling of Salim. If not then why would he be fearful about it? Can someone please address this.

**Sahih Muslim Book 008, Hadith Number 3421** Chapter: One suckling or two do not make marriage unlawful. >'Aisha (Allah be pleased with, her) reported that it had been revealed in the Holy Qur'an that ten clear sucklings make the marriage unlawful, then it was abrogated (and substituted) by five sucklings and Allah's Apostle (May peace be upon him) died and it was before that time (found) in the Holy Qur'an (and recited by the Muslims). **Sahih Muslim Book 008, Hadith Number 3422.** Chapter: One suckling or two do not make marriage unlawful. >'Amra reported that she beard 'Aisha (Allah he pleased with her) discussing fosterage which (makes marriage) unlawful; and she ('Aisha) said: There was revealed in the Holy Qur'an ten clear sucklings, and then five clear (sucklings). Can anyone point to the "substituted five clear (sucklings)" verse in the Quran?

After knowing that , if a couple adopts a child, the child will still be non-mahram for the woman if it was a boy or vice-versa for her husband. Alhamdulillah these restrictions will not be applied, if the woman suckled the adopted child before (s)he reaches the age of two. Is it allowed in Islam to suckle a child who can't give birth, with milk produced through medicinal means? I found that it was allowed in Islam to suckle using medicinal mens to make a child mahram. I have two questions regarding this: - How many times should a woman suckle her adopted child to become his mahram? Is doing it just once enough? Since taking medicines continuously may have a negative affect on the mother's health. - If the adopted child is female and if the woman suckled the child, then does that child become mahram to her husband?

Verses of the Quran can be abrogated. But one stands out, the abrogation of 10 sucklings of a baby to 5 sucklings to develop foster relationships. Why? Seems inconsistent. What's the big difference between 10 and 5? Was 10 a mistake? > 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that it had been revealed > in the Holy Qur'an that ten clear sucklings make the marriage > unlawful, then it was abrogated (and substituted) by five sucklings > and Allah's apostle (may peace be upon him) died and it was before > that time (found) in the Holy Qur'an (and recited by the Muslims). [34 > Muslim, II, No. 3421.]

It is stated that the foster relations are treated like blood relations in the following hadith. > Narated By Amra bint 'Abdur-Rahman : That 'Aisha the wife of the > Prophet told her uncle that once, while the Prophet was in her house, > she heard a man asking Hafsa's permission to enter her house. 'Aisha > said, "I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I think the man is Hafsa's foster > uncle.' " 'Aisha added, "O Allah's Apostle! There is a man asking the > permission to enter your house." Allah's Apostle replied, "I think the > man is Hafsa's foster uncle." 'Aisha said, "If so-and-so were living > (i.e. her foster uncle) would he be allowed to visit me?" Allah's > Apostle said, "Yes, he would, as the foster relations are treated like > blood relations (in marital affairs)." - Sahih Bukhari . Is it permitted for a man to marry the foster sister of his brother? Since, that woman is only his brother's foster sister, not for him. ie, What about marriage with blood relation's foster relation?

May Allah bless all of us with right doings! My question is that: Is a man (who is breastfed) allowed to marry the younger sister of his foster sister? (breastfed only once). Please quote references from the Qur'an or hadith.

**Consider the following Condition** If there are two women(sisters) let we name 'A' and 'B'. Woman A has three sons and woman B has two daughters.Woman B gave milk to woman A's first son. Question : Is nikah halal for the first son of woman A to marry woman B's second daughter??

Allah the almighty says: > Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period]. ... (2:233 ) From this one would conclude that rada'a or breastfeeding only counts for babies and or little children. Neverthless there are ahadith that seem to consider rada'a being valid for adults like: - > **'A'isha** (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Sahla bint Suhail came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: Messenger of Allah, I see on the face of Abu Hudhaifa (signs of disgust) on entering of Salim (who is an ally) into (our house), whereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Suckle him. She said: How can I suckle him as he is a grown-up man? Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled and said: I already know that he is a young man 'Amr has made this addition in his narration that he participated in the Battle of Badr and in the narration of Ibn 'Umar (the words are): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) laughed. (See for example in Sahih Muslim , in Sunan ibn Majah and Sunan an-Nasa-i ) - > **Umm Salama** said to **'A'isha** (Allah be pleased with her): A young boy who is at the threshold of puberty comes to you. I, however, do not like that he should come to me, whereupon 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: Don't you see in Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a model for you? She also said: The wife of Abu Hudhaifa said: Messenger of Allah, Salim comes to me and now he is a (grown-up) person, and there is something that (rankles) in the mind of Abu Hudhaifa about him, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Suckle him (so that he may become your foster-child), and thus he may be able to come to you (freely). (See for example in Sahih Muslim and a similar narration in Sunan an-Nasa-i ) And some athar: - > Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Salim ibn Abdullah ibn Umar informed him that **A'isha umm al-muminin** sent him away while he was being nursed to her sister Umm Kulthum bint Abi Bakr as-Siddiq and said, "Suckle him ten times so that he can come in to see me." > Salim said, "Umm Kulthum nursed me three times and then fell ill, so that she only nursed me three times. I could not go in to see A'isha because Umm Kulthum did not finish for me the ten times." (Al-Muwatta' ) - > Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Safiyya bint Abi Ubayd told him that **Hafsa**, umm al-muminin, sent Asim ibn Abdullah ibn Sad to her sister Fatima bint Umar ibn al-Khattab for her to suckle him ten times so that he could come in to see her. She did it, so he used to come in to see her. (Al-Muwatta' ) - Don't these ahadith contradict the Qur'an especially as there are actually statements and maybe even ahadith from other sahabah saying that breastfeeding an adult doesn't count. - Or is this just a special case, as it seems only 'Aishah () and other mothers of believers are referred to in all ahadith I know of that seem to agree that breastfeeding adults create a mahram relationship. - How do scholars of fiqh and tafsir actually interpret these evidences?

Since foster relations are treated as blood relations in marital matters and buying breastmilk from a store to feed your infant doesn't tell you who the foster mother is, is it regarded as forbidden? It is allowed to nurse your child by paying someone in Islam > ...And if you wish to have your children nursed by a substitute, there > is no blame upon you as long as you give payment according to what is > acceptable... **(Surah Al Baqarah:233)** Although in this way one cannot guarantee to know the foster brothers/sisters(because she may also feed some other child in return for payment), Allah has made it halal. So, the question is not very different from this scenario except the foster mother is not known. What do scholars say on this matter?

I have search from many sites but I found mixed answers some says yes other say no. I want to ask that can husband suck the milk of his wife is it allowed in Islam or not?? Please answer with reference of Qur'an or Hadith.

Two women breastfed each others older son. one woman has a daughter as second child, the second woman has a son as second child. **My question:** Is marriage possible between the guy (second child of the second woman) and the girl (second child of the first woman)? Both children were not breastfed by other woman.
