Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The issue of shirk (associating partners with Allah): Does a woman not have to observe seclusion from her husband’s father through breastfeeding, and does he become her father in that regard or not?
The Shaykh:
Yes, she does not have to observe seclusion, just as she does not have to observe seclusion from her husband’s father through blood relation, so she does not have to observe seclusion from her husband’s father through breastfeeding. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. And just as she does not have to observe seclusion from her husband’s son through blood relation, she does not have to observe seclusion from his son through breastfeeding, and so on. Yes.
The questioner:
All right.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
