The ruling on breastfeeding that creates a prohibition between the children of a sister and a brother

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Hello, yes, peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. How are you, Shaykh Muhammad? Yes, praise be to Allah. Well, if Allah wills, my question, Shaykh, is about a woman who breastfed her brother’s son and her sister’s son. Do these two boys become brothers?

The Shaykh : How many times did she breastfeed them?

The questioner : Four full feedings, how many? Five, one

The Shaykh : And not a second time.

The questioner : More than five times.

The Shaykh : Well, if so, they are brothers.

The questioner : Her brother’s son and her sister’s son.

The Shaykh : Her brother’s son and her sister’s son become brothers through breastfeeding.

The questioner : Okay, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : They are brothers by blood, meaning by birth.

The questioner : Yes, and even if.

The Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that breastfeeding makes the same things prohibited as blood relations.

The questioner : Well, Shaykh Muhammad, if the wet nurse is paid, do all the children she breastfeeds also become brothers?

The Shaykh : Yes, if a woman breastfeeds someone five times or more, he becomes her son, and all her children and all those she breastfeeds become brothers to him.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, well

The questioner : That is possible.

The Shaykh : I advise my brothers to record the number of breastfeedings, and I advise wet nurses to record who breastfed from them, so that confusion does not arise later, for sometimes a man and a woman with children are found to have a breastfeeding relationship between them.
