The Ruling on a Husband Sucking from His Wife’s Breast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible for a husband to suck from his wife’s breast?
The Shaykh:
If he sucks her breast, it does not harm him. If he sucks the milk from her breast, it does not harm him, because breastfeeding an adult does not have any effect according to the majority of scholars. However, leaving it is better, as there is no need for this. That is, if he sucks the milk from her breast as a joke, or as a form of playfulness, or to show affection, it does not harm. It does not harm the marital relationship. If he drinks from her breast, it does not harm anything, and she is his wife, and he does not become her son. But leaving this is better.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
One of the scholars holds that an adult should not be breastfed, so he should not suck from her breast; rather, leaving it is better. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes.
