Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man has two wives, and one of them breastfed a boy. Is the second wife not required to observe hijab from this boy when he reaches puberty?

Answer:
Yes, because the wife of his father through breastfeeding is like the wife of his father through blood relation. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب،
Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam)
