The questioner : The second question says: I have a maternal cousin, and she nursed with my younger brothers, meaning my brothers nursed from her mother more than three times...
The Shaykh : Repeat the question?
The questioner : He says: I have a maternal cousin, and she nursed with my younger brothers, meaning my brothers nursed from her mother more than three times. Is it permissible for me to propose to her as a wife, even though I did not nurse from her mother?
The Shaykh : If you did not nurse from her mother, and she did not nurse from your mother, then it is permissible for you to marry her, because there is no bond between you in this case. She is not your sister, and you are not her brother. As for your brothers who nursed more than three times, if they nursed five times, they become her brothers, provided they nursed from her mother more than five times. However, if they nursed three or four times, or less than that, they do not become her brothers, because the nursing that establishes prohibition is what reaches five times.
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “Among what was revealed in the Qur'an was that ten nursings establish prohibition, but this was abrogated by five known nursings. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while this was still in the recited Qur'an.” This is evidence that the prohibited amount is five nursings, not less. It is also required that this nursing occur during the period of nursing, which is what happens before weaning, according to the opinion of some scholars, or what happens before the age of two years, according to the other opinion. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
