Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: I am a man whose father is married to two wives, and my aunt breastfed me.
The Shaykh:
By his aunt, he means his father’s wife; that is what he intends.
The questioner:
And I meet her sisters and relatives. Is it permissible for my brother to meet her sisters and relatives, given that the milk is from one father? Please advise us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
No. Your brother, who was not breastfed by your father’s wife, is not permitted to be without a barrier from the sisters of your father’s wife or their relatives; for they are non-mahram to him. They must observe the barrier from him. He is not a mahram to the sisters of your father’s wife; he is not a mahram to them. As for the one who was breastfed, he became her son, and her sisters became his aunts through breastfeeding. This is specific to him, not to his brothers. His brothers are non-mahram to the sisters of your father’s wife; they are non-mahram to the sisters of your father’s wife. As for the one who was breastfed by your father’s wife, her sisters become his aunts, and he is a mahram to them. Yes.
