Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Is it permissible for a man to marry his wife’s breastfeeding mother?

Answer : There is scholarly disagreement on this. As long as the wife is with him, it is not permissible because it would be marrying a mother and her daughter together. However, if he divorces her, the majority of scholars hold that it is not permissible, while Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah chose the position that it is permissible. That is the stronger position, the stronger position, yes, Shaykh al-Islam.
