Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Regarding the hadith, which means that what is forbidden by breastfeeding is forbidden by blood kinship, what is the meaning of this and what is an example of it?

Answer:
Yes, what is forbidden by breastfeeding is forbidden by blood kinship. So, anyone who is forbidden to you by blood kinship, such as your sister, your mother, or your maternal aunt, is likewise forbidden to you by breastfeeding. The mother is forbidden by breastfeeding, the sister is forbidden by breastfeeding, and the maternal aunt is forbidden by breastfeeding. This is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "What is forbidden by breastfeeding is forbidden by blood kinship." This is a great principle, and it is one of the concise expressions of wisdom that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was given. Therefore, anyone who is forbidden to you because of blood kinship is also forbidden to you because of breastfeeding. It is a comprehensive principle. Yes.
