Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, a message reached the program from one of the female listeners, who indicated her name with the letters (N. R. F. R. A). Our sister has a lengthy case regarding breastfeeding. She says: I am a woman who has been married for about twenty-five years to my cousin. After a long time of marriage, I learned that my husband is my brother through breastfeeding, meaning that I was breastfed by his mother along with his younger brother for fifteen days. He was one year old, and I was one week old. Is it forbidden for me, and must we be separated, or not? Knowing that my aunt tried to prevent the marriage on the day of my wedding because of my breastfeeding, but my father and my uncle insisted on proceeding with the marriage. Is the sin upon us, or upon them? And what do we do now, knowing that I have not borne any children from him until now? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This matter is referred to the court, and the wet nurse is brought to appear so that the judge can ask her about the reality of the breastfeeding, the number of suckles, and so that people can be asked about her trustworthiness and justice. After that, the judge rules on the matter. This is what I see in this issue, because it is a serious matter that has passed a long time. So what I see is that the wet nurse should be brought before the judge so that he can ask her about the nature of the breastfeeding, the number of suckles, and her certainty regarding it, and he asks those who know her about her justice. After that, he rules as he sees fit, and that is sufficient, if Allah wills.
The presenter : If Allah wills, may Allah reward you with good, and may Allah reward you.
