Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When I was a child, I was breastfed by a woman other than my mother. After I got married, I ordered my wife to greet the husband of the woman who breastfed me, because he has become my father through breastfeeding. Is it permissible for her to greet him? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, if the breastfeeding is established as five feedings within the two-year period, then you become the son of this woman and the son of her husband to whom her milk is attributed. Consequently, he becomes your father through breastfeeding and a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to your wife, just as your father by blood is. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam) Yes. May Allah reward you with good.

Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.
يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب.
