Majmu' al-FatawaIbn Taimiya

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

A woman handed a child to another woman while they were in the bathhouse. The woman who took the child did not notice until her breast was in the boy’s mouth. She immediately pulled it away, but did not know whether he had suckled. Is the boy forbidden to marry any of that woman’s daughters?

He replied:

This does not prevent the boy from marrying one of this woman’s daughters, for she is not his nursing mother. According to all four imams, mere doubt does not establish a marriage prohibition. Allah knows best.

وَسُئِلَ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى -: عَنْ امْرَأَةٍ أَعْطَتْ لِامْرَأَةٍ أُخْرَى وَلَدًا؛ وَهُمَا فِي الْحَمَّامِ فَلَمْ تَشْعُرْ الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي أَخَذَتْ الْوَلَدَ إلَّا وَثَدْيُهَا فِي فَمِ الصَّبِيِّ فَانْتَزَعَتْهُ مِنْهُ فِي سَاعَتِهِ وَمَا عَلِمَتْ هَلْ ارْتَضَعَ أَمْ لَا: فَهَلْ يَحْرُمُ عَلَى الصَّبِيِّ الْمَذْكُورِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمَذْكُورَةِ؛ أَمْ لَا؟ فَأَجَابَ: لَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَى الصَّبِيِّ الْمَذْكُورِ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ أَوْلَادِ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَإِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ أُمَّهُ وَلَا تَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ بِالشَّكِّ عِنْدَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ. وَاَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ.
