The ruling on the child of a man who married his milk sister
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A young man married his cousin’s daughter and had a son with her, then they informed him that he had been breastfed by her. What is the ruling on the child? And how many breastfeedings make marriage forbidden?
Answer:
The breastfeedings that make marriage forbidden are five breastfeedings, meaning five sucks. A breastfeed is a single suck. If he sucks the milk and stops, then returns and sucks again, that is a second breastfeed, until he completes five sucks, and this must occur within the two-year period. This is the forbidden breastfeeding. As for a man who marries a woman and then it turns out she is his milk sister, for example, they are separated, and the child is his son, because this was a marriage with a doubt, and he did not intend the doubt, so the child is attributed to him; he is his son, and he is also her son. Yes.
