Majmu' al-FatawaIbn Taimiya

Shaykh al-Islām—may Allah have mercy on him—also said:

Section

If a child receives five breastfeeds from a woman before reaching two years of age, he becomes her child. He may therefore not marry any of her children, whether born before or after she breastfed him. Her husband, through whom she became pregnant and produced milk, becomes his father, and he may not marry any of that man’s children. Thus, if his wife breastfeeds a boy and a girl five times each, they may not marry one another; rather, they are siblings. And Allah knows best.

He—may Allah have mercy on him—was asked:

“A woman breastfed a boy on two occasions. Ten years later, she became pregnant and gave birth to a girl, and the boy had become a young man. May he marry that girl or not?”

He replied:

If she breastfed him five times within his first two years, he has become her son. He may not marry any of that woman’s children, whether she gave birth to them before or after breastfeeding him, by scholarly consensus.

وَقَالَ شَيْخُ الْإِسْلَامِ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ -: فَصْلٌ: إذَا ارْتَضَعَ الطِّفْلُ مِنْ امْرَأَةٍ خَمْسَ رَضَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتِمَّ لَهُ حَوْلَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ يَصِيرُ وَلَدَهَا؛ فَيَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ كُلُّ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهَا قَبْلَ الرَّضَاعِ وَبَعْدَهُ؛ وَيَصِيرُ زَوْجُهَا الَّذِي أَحْبَلَهَا دَرَّ لَبَنَهَا أَبَاهُ؛ فَيَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ أَوْلَادِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ. فَإِذَا ارْتَضَعَتْ امْرَأَتُهُ طِفْلًا وَطِفْلَةً كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ خَمْسَ رَضَعَاتٍ لَمْ يَجُزْ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ أَحَدُهُمَا بِالْآخَرِ؛ بَلْ هُمَا أَخَوَانِ. وَاَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ. وَسُئِلَ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ -: عَنْ صَبِيٍّ أَرْضَعَتْهُ كَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ حَمَلَتْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِعَشْرِ سِنِينَ؛ وَجَاءَتْ بِبِنْتٍ وَصَارَ الصَّبِيُّ شَابًّا: فَهَلْ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ بِتِلْكَ الْبِنْتِ أَمْ لَا؟ فَأَجَابَ: إذَا ارْتَضَعَ مِنْهَا خَمْسَ رَضَعَاتٍ فِي حَوْلَيْنِ فَقَدْ صَارَ ابْنُهَا؛ وَيَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ كُلُّ مَا وَلَدَتْهُ الْمَرْأَةُ: سَوَاءٌ وَلَدَتْهُ قَبْلَ الرَّضَاعِ أَوْ بَعْدَهُ: بِاتِّفَاقِ الْعُلَمَاءِ
