The Ties of Kinship with the Grandfather’s Wives and the Effect of Breastfeeding on Kinship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And the rest of the grandfather’s wives, and the maternal uncles of the father and mother, and the maternal uncles of the wives, are those whom one finds.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the grandfather’s wife.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the grandfather’s wives. It is obligatory to maintain ties with them for the sake of the grandfather, because they are connected to the grandfather, they are connected to your grandfather, they are your wives, they have the right to kinship ties. As for the matter of breastfeeding between you and them, this breastfeeding does not obligate kinship ties between you and them. They are not relatives, these are not relatives. Breastfeeding does not establish, meaning, the rights of kinship, but it only establishes the prohibition of marriage.
