Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I was breastfed by a woman, are all the wives of the man who provided the milk forbidden to me?

Answer:
Without a doubt, they are forbidden to you, for they are your father's wives through breastfeeding. Your father's wives through breastfeeding are forbidden to you. What is forbidden through breastfeeding is forbidden through blood relation. Just as your father's wives through blood relation are forbidden to you, so are his wives through breastfeeding. Yes. And their children as well. Their children become your brothers through breastfeeding. Even if the one who breastfed you was one of his wives, the children of the other women are your brothers through the father. Yes.
