Question:
Are sisters through breastfeeding relatives whom I am obligated to maintain ties with, or not?
Answer:
They are not relatives. Sisters through breastfeeding are not among the relatives. Relatives are those related by blood, such as the husband’s father, the husband’s brother, the husband’s uncle, and his other kin. They are called in-laws, and they are not relatives.
Relatives are those related by blood, but one should be kind to those in-laws. Maintaining ties with them is a matter of courtesy and of repaying kindness with kindness, not because they are relatives. However, if you are kind to your in-laws and your relatives through breastfeeding and maintain ties with them, that is among the noble qualities of character.
