A man divorced a woman, and her father through breastfeeding married her

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 15889 )
Q2: A man married a woman who was the ex-wife of another man. The man who divorced her had previously breastfed from the wife of the man who has now married her. What is the ruling, and is there a difference if the one who divorced her was his son? Please inform us with complete clarity. May Allah reward you with good.
A2: If a person breastfed from a man’s wife five times or more within the two-year period, it is not permissible for that man to marry the ex-wife of the one who breastfed; because she is the wife of his son through breastfeeding. Just as he does not marry the ex-wife of his son through lineage, due to the saying of the Exalted, when He mentioned the prohibited women:
and the wives of your sonsوَحَلائِلُ أَبْنَائِكُمُ
, likewise, it is not permissible for him to marry the ex-wife of his son through breastfeeding; due to the saying of the Prophet (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, if the breastfeedings were fewer than five, or if there is doubt about them, then she is not prohibited for him; because the certain barrier does not exist.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.
