The milk kinship of his wife’s maternal uncle: Does it prohibit him from marrying his wife?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 14039 )
Q: I wish to marry a girl who is the daughter of my paternal cousin. Due to a doubt regarding breastfeeding and the relationship I will explain to you, and this doubt is as follows: Her grandmother breastfed her father and her first and second uncles, and she is their maternal grandmother.
She also breastfed my brother and three sisters, and she is their paternal grandmother; she is my paternal grandmother and the grandmother of the girl I wish to marry. My aunt breastfed my eldest brother, and she breastfed the girl and her brothers. My mother breastfed her aunt, the second one, and the aunt of the first and the third, but she did not breastfeed the girl nor any of her brothers. Her mother breastfed the third one and her fourth aunt, but she did not breastfeed me, the questioner, nor any of my brothers. Note: It was not one or two sips, but a month. Is it permissible for me to marry the girl, or does the breastfeeding by my grandmother and her grandmother prohibit me from doing so?
A: If the matter is as you described, it is permissible for you to marry the daughter of your paternal cousin. There is no effect on this marriage from the breastfeeding of her father and her uncles by your aunt, nor from the breastfeeding of your brother and your sisters by her, nor from the breastfeeding of your brother, the girl, and her sisters by your aunt. Likewise, there is no effect on this marriage from the breastfeeding of the girl's uncle and aunt by your mother, nor from the breastfeeding of the girl's uncle and aunt by her mother. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
