Ruling on a woman uncovering her face before her brother through breastfeeding and kissing mahrams
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our sister asks about the ruling on kissing brothers through breastfeeding and uncovering before them, as well as their uncles and maternal uncles. She states that she is certain, as she says, that she was breastfed by their mother more than five times. The uncovering referred to is uncovering the face before them?
The answer: Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) , when He mentioned the prohibited matters, said: [Al-Nisa: 23], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam) If a woman is breastfed by another woman five times or more while she is within the two-year period before weaning, then the woman who breastfed her becomes her mother, and her children become her brothers and sisters, both male and female. There is no barrier to her uncovering for them what she uncovers for her relatives by blood, such as her brother, father, or paternal uncle by blood. In the same way, she may uncover for them, and they may see her face, hands, and feet, just as her relatives by blood see them.
As for kissing, there is no barrier to kissing on the head or the cheek. The Shaykh , al-Ṣiddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), used to kiss Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) on her cheek. As for the mouth itself, it is better to leave it for the husband; it is better for the guardian, meaning the mahram, not to kiss the mouth. This is the best: he may kiss her nose, between her eyes, or her head if she is an older woman, or her cheek; there is nothing wrong with that. As for the mouth, it is better, more excellent, and more cautious to leave the mouth, because it is for the husband. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. I hope...
The Shaykh: There is nothing wrong with the mahram seeing her hair. There is nothing wrong with seeing the hair; there is nothing wrong with him seeing it. However, if she covers her body before her mahrams and becomes modest, so that the mahram sees only her face, her hands, and her feet, that is more complete, better, and further from danger regarding some mahrams. Yes.

The answer: Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) , when He mentioned the prohibited matters, said:
your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing
وَأُمَّهَاتُكُمُ اللَّاتِي أَرْضَعْنَكُمْ وَأَخَوَاتُكُمْ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِBreast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.
يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسبAs for kissing, there is no barrier to kissing on the head or the cheek.
