The questioner : He says: There is a man and a woman, or a girl, according to his expression, who were breastfed by another woman. This man is older than the girl, as he states in his letter that he is fifteen years older than her. He wants to marry the sister of this girl. Is it permissible for him to marry her or not?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. There is no doubt that the man mentioned is the brother of the girl mentioned, because they were both breastfed by the same woman. Thus, they are siblings through breastfeeding. As for the siblings of these two breastfed children, they have no relationship through breastfeeding.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Accordingly, it is permissible for this man to marry the sister of the woman who was breastfed with him, and there is no blame on him for doing so.
The questioner : Yes, you have done well. This letter is from Hamid Hamdush, a merchant in Sudan. He is asking about a bequest, and I believe it is an unjust bequest, according to the questioner’s question.
