Question:
Another question regarding breastfeeding. He says: I was breastfed by my maternal grandmother, the mother of my mother. The problem is that my maternal aunt, my mother’s sister, was also breastfed by my grandmother fifteen years ago. My question is: Is my maternal aunt’s daughter permissible for me to marry, given that I was breastfed for three consecutive days?
Answer:
It is necessary to investigate. The grandmother should be present before one of the scholars or the court so that they can question her about the breastfeeding. If it was five breastfeedings or more within the two-year period, she becomes your maternal aunt and your paternal aunts’ aunt, and the daughters of your paternal aunts become your aunts through breastfeeding, so it is not permissible for you to marry them. If the breastfeeding was like that of your paternal uncle, then your paternal aunts become your sisters through breastfeeding, and their daughters become your sisters’ daughters through breastfeeding, so it is not permissible for you to marry them. If the breastfeeding is confirmed to be five times or more, five times or more within the two-year period, the wet nurse should be present before those who question her, whether the scholars or the court, so that the breastfeeding is confirmed.
