Machine translationRead the Arabic original
My brother's wife breastfed six people. What is the ruling on breastfeeding?The Shaykh: How many breastfeedings?The questioner: Satiating feedings.

The Shaykh: How many are they?What do I say: Are they satiating or not satiating?Say: How many are they?The questioner: She breastfed them for a long period.

The Shaykh: How many are they, four or five?The questioner: Five.

The Shaykh: Did she breastfeed each one five times?The questioner: Yes.
At different times, and are they all of the same age?The Shaykh: All of them become brothers through breastfeeding, and the children of the wet nurse also become their brothers.

The questioner: The other women breastfed their sons, so my wife also breastfed her son, and she breastfed my son.

The Shaykh: Your son becomes a brother to the children of the woman who breastfed him, and her son becomes a brother to your children, whether they were born before or after.

The questioner himself: And those who come after them?The Shaykh: And those after them.

The questioner: Brothers?The Shaykh: I mean those after them from the woman who breastfed, not those after them from the mother of the one who was breastfed.
