Prohibition in breastfeeding applies only to the breastfed person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: He has a second question in this letter. He says: My grandmother breastfed only my older brothers and did not breastfeed me. The question is: What is the ruling regarding what is lawful and forbidden in this case, and what is my status with regard to my paternal cousins?
The Shaykh: As long as your grandmother did not breastfeed you, there is no blame on you for marrying any of your paternal cousins. There is nothing wrong with it. It is only your brothers who cannot marry them. If the breastfeeding occurred five times or more while they were within the two-year period, that is the case. As for you, since you were not breastfed, there is no blame on you for marrying any of your paternal cousins. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. So, the prohibition applies only to the breastfed person?
The Shaykh: Yes.
