And if a woman breastfeeds an adult man, does she become his mother?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, if a woman breastfeeds an adult man, does she become his mother through breastfeeding, even if he is more than two years old?
The Shaykh: No. Within the limits of your knowledge and understanding regarding the lives of pregnant and nursing women, I have a question, and I hope the answer will be direct without evasion. Can a woman whose husband died ten years ago still produce milk?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: She breastfeeds a small child.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: ... Okay, a woman whose husband died five years ago. Is your answer different, or is it the same?
The questioner : It is the same thing.
The Shaykh: It is the same thing.
The questioner : But there was a sister with us, meaning my brother’s wife... she said that for a long period, thirty years, when she squeezes, a little milk comes out.
The Shaykh: That is not our concern. We are speaking now about a woman whose husband died ten years ago, or five years ago, and she breastfeeds... does this boy become her son? Is it that bad for you?
The questioner : This thing happened.
The Shaykh: That is the question. Whether it happened or not, that requires investigation. We are currently in the process of investigating.
The questioner : We are asking the doctor now.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : We are asking the doctor.
The Shaykh: Okay, is Dr. 'Isam in the clinic or at home? Okay, a pertinent question: Can an unmarried girl produce milk?
The Shaykh: No. Within the limits of your knowledge and understanding regarding the lives of pregnant and nursing women, I have a question, and I hope the answer will be direct without evasion. Can a woman whose husband died ten years ago still produce milk?
