Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is from one of our brother listeners, Malik Adam Wahab. Our brother Malik has a question regarding breastfeeding. He says: My maternal cousin’s daughter was breastfed along with her son. Is it permissible for me to marry her daughter? Please note that initially she said she did not know the number of breastfeedings, but when I wanted to marry her daughter, she said it was only one breastfeeding. I ask you to inform me about this. May Allah reward you, and may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon whoever follows his guidance.
Breastfeeding that results in prohibition must be five breastfeedings or more. If she did not keep track of the breastfeeding and did not remember it, then it is not forbidden for you to marry her daughter, and she does not become your mother. However, leaving this matter is better, in the sense of avoiding what is doubtful, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711Sahih (Darussalam) and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Bulugh al-Maram 16:32 Women are many, praise be to Allah. But she is not forbidden to you unless the breastfeeding is established as five breastfeedings, or more, within the two-year period, and you are within the two-year period. In that case, her daughter would be your sister, and she would be your mother. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
