The questioner : Is maintaining ties with relatives through breastfeeding rewarded the same as maintaining ties with relatives through blood relation? I hope you will provide information on this?
The Shaykh : Breastfeeding does not establish kinship between people. Therefore, none of the rulings of kinship are established by breastfeeding except those related to marriage only. Breastfeeding establishes the prohibition of marriage, the permissibility of looking, and the prohibition of marriage, but it does not establish inheritance, the obligation of financial maintenance, the bearing of blood money, or the maintenance of ties that is obligatory for relatives by blood. Most of the rulings of blood relation are negated in breastfeeding.
Accordingly, it is not obligatory for a son through breastfeeding to maintain ties with his mother through breastfeeding as he does with his mother by blood. However, breastfeeding does actually cause some degree of closeness, but it is not like blood relation. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This is the female student.
