Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A woman breastfed her brother when he was a child. When he grew up and had children, she wanted to marry her son to one of her brother's daughters. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : What would be the ruling if she had not breastfed him?
The questioner: Her brother.
The Shaykh : How is he her brother? If she had not breastfed this infant.
The questioner : He is her brother by blood.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So when she breastfed him, he became her son and her brother.
The Shaykh : Yes. What did the others become? They became his brothers through breastfeeding. Those who share in the breastfeeding with him are his brothers through breastfeeding, and it is not permissible [to marry them]. And those who did not share in it, it is permissible [to marry them].
The questioner : I mean, Professor, if this girl was not breastfed by her mother, is it permissible for him to marry her?
The Shaykh : The girl was not breastfed by her mother?
The questioner : For example, she has daughters. For example, three daughters were breastfed by her, and one was not?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Is the one who was not breastfed like the two daughters who were breastfed?
The Shaykh : The two who were breastfed, whose daughters are they?
The questioner : The daughters of the woman. We assumed she has three daughters. Two were breastfed by her, and one was not breastfed by her mother at all.
The Shaykh : She is her daughter.
The questioner : Yes, she is her daughter.
The Shaykh : Whether she was breastfed or not, she is her daughter by blood.
The questioner : It is said here that what is effective is the breastfeeding.
The Shaykh : No, what is effective here is the blood relation.
The questioner : The question is as follows, Professor: A woman breastfed her brother. When her brother grew up, he married and had daughters. The woman has a son, so her son is the brother of her brother through breastfeeding, because she is his mother through breastfeeding and the mother of his son by blood. When this boy grew up, he wanted to marry the daughters of his brother through breastfeeding. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : No, this question is because the issue is confusing to me. If you have a clear picture, no problem if you understood the matter and grasped it.
The questioner : I grasped the matter as follows.
The Shaykh : And you have an answer to it, so think about it.
The questioner : The woman breastfed her brother.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : By blood, so he became her son through breastfeeding.
The Shaykh : Correct.
The questioner : So when the brother grew up, he married and had daughters. The woman who breastfed her brother has a son, so he is her son, the brother of her brother through breastfeeding, because she is his mother through breastfeeding and the mother of his son by blood. When this boy grew up, he wanted to marry the daughters of his brother through breastfeeding. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : It appears that it is not permissible.
The questioner : Yes, it appears that it is not permissible because he is her paternal uncle.
The Shaykh : What is forbidden through breastfeeding is forbidden through blood relation. Yes.
The Shaykh : What would be the ruling if she had not breastfed him?
The questioner: Her brother.
