Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. My brother’s wife breastfed my son, and my sister’s son breastfed six people. What is the ruling on breastfeeding?
The Shaykh : How much breastfeeding?
The questioner : Satiating amounts.
The Shaykh : How much is it? I do not say: it is satiating or not satiating. Say: how much is it?
The questioner : No, she breastfed for a long period, I mean.
The Shaykh : How much is it, four or five?
The questioner : Five, five.
The Shaykh : Did each one breastfeed five times?
The questioner : Yes, at different times, I mean.
The Shaykh : Fine.
The questioner : And were they all of the same age, I mean?
The Shaykh : Then all of them become brothers through breastfeeding, and the children of the wet nurse also become their brothers.
The questioner : And those who come after them.
The Shaykh : They have no share in it.
The questioner : She breastfed, and the second ones breastfed her children, for example, my wife also breastfed her son.
The Shaykh : Her son.
The questioner : She breastfed my son, and my wife breastfed her son.
The Shaykh : Fine, fine. Then 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 before or after.
The questioner : And those who come after them?
The Shaykh : And those who come after them.
The questioner : Brothers.
The Shaykh : Those who come after the woman who breastfed.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Not those who come after the mother of the one who breastfed, or did you not understand?
