The fourth question of Fatwa number ( 19328 )
Q4: Should my wife observe hijab in front of my father through breastfeeding?
A4: Your father through breastfeeding is in the same position as your father by blood, so your wife does not observe hijab in front of him; because Allah the Exalted said:
the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loinsوَحَلائِلُ أَبْنَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ أَصْلابِكُمْ
[An-Nisa 4:23]
, and this includes the wife of a son through breastfeeding; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
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)
. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
