Question:
He says in another question: I have a wife who was breastfed by a woman when she was young, and my wife says to her: "She is my mother," and the wet nurse says to her: "She is my daughter." Is the wet nurse of my wife a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to me?
Answer:
Yes, if she breastfed her five times within the first two years; then she is your wife's mother. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam) If the wet nurse is trustworthy and states that she breastfed her five times or more, five breastfeedings within the first two years, then she is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to you. Or if someone known for trustworthiness, whether a man or a woman, testifies to this on her behalf. However, the statement of the daughter alone is not sufficient. It is necessary that the wet nurse be trustworthy and testify to the breastfeedings, five or more; because when a woman said to 'Uqbah ibn al-Harith: "I have breastfed you, I breastfed you and your wife," the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: .
The point is: if the one claiming the breastfeeding is trustworthy and states that she breastfed her five times or more within the first two years, then she is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to you. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, if she breastfed her five times within the first two years; then she is your wife's mother. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.
يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسبLeave her; how can it be otherwise when that has been said?
دعها؛ كيف وقد قيل ذلك؟The point is: if the one claiming the breastfeeding is trustworthy and states that she breastfed her five times or more within the first two years, then she is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to you. Yes.
