Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A young man asks, saying: I married a girl who was breastfed by my father's brother's wife.

The Shaykh : I got married.

The questioner : I married a girl who was breastfed by my father's brother's wife.

The Shaykh : By my brother's wife.

The questioner : Yes, by my father's brother's wife, knowing that she was breastfed five times. Is my marriage valid?

The Shaykh : The marriage is not valid, because when she was breastfed by your brother's wife, you became her foster father. Therefore, the marriage is defective. It is obligatory to separate you two.
On this occasion, I would like to point out that it is obligatory for a person to be careful to know who his wife breastfed, so that he does not fall into such a predicament. Yes.
