Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: My mother married a man who fathered a daughter and a son.
The Shaykh : Very well.
The questioner : Then he passed away, so my mother married my father, who is the uncle of the daughter and the son, meaning: the second husband. She says: He has children, one of whom was breastfed by my mother along with my maternal sister. My question, O honorableThe Shaykh : Does this boy become a brother to the girl, or does he not become one? Because some people say: The milk belongs to the father. May Allah reward you with the best reward.
The Shaykh : The reality is that the milk belongs to the father and the mother, to the father and the mother. If a woman breastfeeds a child, he becomes her son. Do you agree? If a woman breastfeeds a child, he becomes her son. Is that not so? And all those who came from the woman become his siblings, whether from a previous husband or a later husband. Likewise, the children of the husband who was her husband at the time of breastfeeding the boy, at the time of breastfeeding the child, become siblings to this child, siblings to him through the father. Therefore, I say: It is possible for siblings to be siblings through the mother. It is possible for them to be siblings through the father. It is possible for them to be siblings through the father and the mother. So a brother comes to us in a form where the siblings are siblings through the mother.

The Shaykh : With the milk of the second husband.
The questioner : With the milk of the second husband.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So the children of the first husband become siblings to this boy.
The Shaykh : Well done. Perfect. A woman married a man and had children from him, then he died or divorced her. She married another and had children from him. So she breastfed a child with the milk of the other. What is the relationship of the children from the first husband to this child? They are siblings through the mother. Clear?
