Q1: A man has a son through breastfeeding. Is the father considered a mahram to his son's wife through breastfeeding, or not?
A1: The wife of a son through breastfeeding is like the wife of a son through lineage; each is forbidden to the husband's father, whether through lineage or breastfeeding. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam) . However, it is a condition for breastfeeding that it occur within the first two years, and that it be five full sucklings or more. Therefore, he is considered a mahram to her.
Q2: A man has a wife. Is his wife's mother through breastfeeding considered a mahram to this man, or not? It is known that the breastfeeding in both questions fully meets the conditions according to the text of the Shari'ah.
A2: The mother of the wife through breastfeeding is forbidden, just as the mother of the wife through
Kinship; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam), and consequently, he is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to his wife's mother through breastfeeding. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
