The Ruling on the Right of Breastfeeding and the Status of the Wet Nurse as a Mahram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We move on to another letter sent by the questioner, Muhammad. He says he is a young man of twenty-five years old. He says his mother told him that he was breastfed by their neighbor in his childhood, and his mother estimates the number of times he was breastfed to be about five quarter-sips. He notes that their neighbor has moved from their village to another village, and he knows the address well. The question is: Honorable Shaykh, does this woman have the same rights over me as my mother, and is it permissible for me to see her because I am a mahram to her?
Answer:
As for rights, she is not entitled to them, because she is not a relative by blood; rights belong to those related by blood. However, if the breastfeeding is established, and it was five feedings within the first two years, then she will be a mahram to him. If you do something for her out of kindness, that is a good thing, but it is not obligatory; nothing is required of you toward her. Yes.
