The story of the Companion whom the Prophet ordered to be breastfed by an elderly woman

Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner is asking about the Companion whom the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered to be breastfed by a woman. The questioner says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered one of the Companions to be breastfed by an elderly woman.

Answer:
Yes, this is the story of Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfah. Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfah. The story is that this freed slave, meaning the manumitted slave, used to enter the house of Abu Hudhayfah.
And in it was his wife, Suhailah bint Suhayl ibn 'Amr. The people of the house felt uncomfortable about this, so Suhailah asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about it. He said, “Breastfeed him, breastfeed him, and you will become a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to him.” So she breastfed him, and he became a mahram to her, and he would enter upon her, and the discomfort was removed. They said this is a specific ruling with no general application; it is a case specific to an individual, and it is not valid for an elderly person to breastfeed. As for this case, it is specific to a particular situation and cannot be used as an analogy. It has no general application, because breastfeeding must occur within the first two years for one who does not eat food.
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So breastfeeding does not establish a mahram relationship unless the child is nourished by it in place of food. As for when it is after weaning and the child is self-sufficient with food, it does not establish a mahram relationship. This is the position of the majority of the scholars. As for the case of Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfah, it is specific and has no general application. Yes.
