Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. A woman married her cousin, but her cousin had been breastfed with her younger uncle, so her husband became her uncle through breastfeeding. I heard a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he said
Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب
Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam)
. What should I do? I am confused about my situation? Regarding the question. A woman married her cousin, but her cousin had been breastfed with her uncle, so her husband became her uncle through breastfeeding. I heard a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he said
Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب
Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam)
. What should I do? I am confused about my situation?

Answer:
If this is established, and that her husband was breastfed by her grandmother, or by her grandfather’s wife—even if it was not from her grandmother, but rather from her grandfather’s wife, her father’s wife—then he becomes her uncle through breastfeeding. If it is established that he was breastfed five known times, then it is not permissible for her to remain with him after this breastfeeding has become clear and established, due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب،
Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam)
. However, this matter should be referred to the judge so that he can investigate the details regarding this breastfeeding. If the breastfeeding that makes marriage prohibited is established with him, then it is obligatory to separate them. Yes.
