In the communist countries, if women give birth, they collect all their milk, boil it, and then nurse these children. Are these children considered siblings through breastfeeding?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for our country during the days of communism
The Shaykh : Which country is it?
The questioner : ... meaning the mothers gave birth in the hospitals
The Shaykh : They were
The questioner : The mothers gave birth in the hospitals, and it is known that under the rule of communism, they would collect the mothers' milk, boil it, and then have the children drink it, meaning until the period of staying in the hospital ended.
The Shaykh : This is a problem
The questioner : Meaning: perhaps all the people of the country
The Shaykh : would become siblings through breastfeeding
The questioner : Yes, siblings through breastfeeding, so what do you say about this?
The Shaykh : By Allah, this is a problem and a dilemma at the same time. He says: When these Islamic republics were under the rule of the unjust communists, they would collect the mothers' milk, boil it, and then feed it to the children, and they did not care, meaning they did not record, for example, who drank this milk so that it would be known, as the brother mentioned. So what is the situation? We say: Whoever is certain that he drank from this milk, then all the women who participated in this milk are his mothers. And whoever is not certain, the original state is innocence. Based on this, you may propose to marry from anywhere in this country, and nothing is upon you, because it is not possible for you to be certain that this girl, for example, drank from milk that you drank from.
