Breastfeeding of a child by two wives of one man
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, if a child is breastfed by two wives of one husband, one of whom breastfed him two times, and the other breastfed him several times, what is the ruling in this case?
The Shaykh:
The ruling is that he becomes a son to the father only, a son to the father, because the five breastfeedings were completed on the part of the father from his wife. As for the wives, he does not become a son to them, because he did not breastfeed from each of them five times. So he becomes a son to the husband, because the breastfeeding was completed on his part from his two wives. This is unlike the two wives, for whom the ruling is not established due to the deficiency of the threshold on their part. Yes.
The questioner:
So does that thing require only one wife, and is it returned as it is?
The Shaykh:
No, this is not required. It remains.
