Milk Kinship
Reading Time: < 1 minute
- If an infant drinks the milk of a woman other than his mother, then that woman becomes the milk-mother of this child.
- The husband of the milk-mother becomes the milk-father of the child.
- The offspring of the milk-mother become the milk-brothers and milk-sisters of the child.
- Nikaah between the milk-brothers and sisters is haraam.
- Just as blood ties make nikaah haraam, milk-ties also make nikaah haraam.
- Thus, just as a person cannot get married to his mahaarim in blood ties, the same applies to milk-relations; they become haraam.
