I am a young man of thirty years old. I have an uncle who married a woman, and she bore him a daughter. I breastfed the daughter for about a month, and after that she died.

The questioner : He says: I am a young man of thirty years old. I have an uncle who married a woman, and she bore him a daughter. I breastfed the daughter for about a month, and after that the mother of the daughter died, leaving only the daughter. After that, my uncle married a second woman, and she bore him daughters from the second woman. Is it permissible for me to marry one of the daughters or not? Please inform us. May Allah reward you a thousand times, for I am very confused?

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. Since you breastfed from your uncle’s wife for a month, you are considered a son of your uncle. Consequently, it is not permissible for you to marry any of his daughters. The daughters born to your uncle’s last wife are your sisters through the father, so it is not lawful for you to marry them.

The questioner : Yes.
