Q
What are the implications of foster suckling on lawful and unlawful relationships in Islam?
A
My foster uncle came and asked permission (to enter) but I refused to admit him till I asked Allah’s
Apostle about that. He said, “He is your uncle, so allow him to come in.” I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I
have been suckled by a woman and not by a man.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “He is your uncle, so let him
enter upon you.” And that happened after the order of Al-Hijab (compulsory veiling) was revealed.
All things which become unlawful because of blood relations are unlawful because of the
corresponding foster suckling relations.
