Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his saying (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)
, is there evidence in this hadith for inheritance through breastfeeding?

Answer:
No one has said this, my brother. It is only a prohibition. What is forbidden by breastfeeding is forbidden by blood relation in terms of the prohibition of marriage, the prohibition of marrying, and the permissibility of seclusion. This is what follows from breastfeeding. As for inheritance, financial maintenance, and maintaining family ties, these are only through blood relation. Yes.
