Ruling on marrying two sisters related by breastfeeding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We begin first with a message from Ibrahim Matr. Ibrahim Matr says in his message: Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings, and may Allah reward you for what you have done in guiding people in their religion. I have questions, and I hope you will answer them. May Allah reward you abundantly.
The first question says: Allah the Exalted said: [Surat al-Nisa: 23]. Is a sister related by breastfeeding like a sister related by blood, such that it is forbidden to marry her if she is with a sister related by blood to her, or a sister related by breastfeeding? Guide us, may Allah guide you.
Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows: The statement of the Exalted: [Surat al-Nisa: 23] encompasses both sisters related by blood and sisters related by breastfeeding; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam). Therefore, it is not permissible to marry two sisters, whether they are related by blood or by breastfeeding, whether the two sisters are full sisters, half-sisters on the father’s side, half-sisters on the mother’s side, or different, and whether they are related by blood or by breastfeeding. This is the truth, and it is the position of the scholars. Yes.
The first question says: Allah the Exalted said:
and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously
وَأَنْ تَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الأُخْتَيْنِAnswer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows: The statement of the Exalted:
and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously
وَأَنْ تَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الأُخْتَيْنِBreast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.
يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب
