Translation text: السؤال: يسأل هذا السؤال وهو رجل مريض، وقد بحث عن علاج لمرضه قبل كثرة الطب في مملكتنا الحبيبة، The question: He (i.e., the questioner) is a sick man and has searched for a cure for his illness before the abundance of medical care in our beloved kingdom (i.e., Saudi). وقد قيل له: تشرب حليب امرأة مرضعة، وقد شرب من حليبها شربةً واحدة، وقد شفاه الله سبحانه وتعالى، And it was said to him, drink the milk of a breastfeeding woman. He drank from her milk one time, and Allah The Exalted has healed him. فهل هي أم له أم لا؟ أفيدونا جزاكم الله خيراً. So, is she (considered) a mother for him or not? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with goodness. الجواب: الحقيقة أنني أشك في كون لبن المرأة سبباً للشفاء، وأظن أن الشفاء حصل عنده لا به؛ The answer: Frankly, I doubt that a woman’s milk is a reason for healing, and I think that the healing occurred at the same time and not because of it. يعني أنه كان مما أراد الله سبحانه وتعالى وقدره أن يكون الشفاء في هذا الظرف أو هذا الوقت، الذي كان وقت شربه هذا اللبن؛ Meaning: It was Allah The Exalted who wanted and decreed that the healing would occur at this circumstance, or this time, which was the time of drinking this milk. إذ إننا لا نعلم أن لبن المرأة يكون سبباً للشفاء، لكن كما أسلفت في حلقةٍ ماضية شعور الإنسان المريض بالشيء له تأثير بالغ بالنسبة للمرض، For we do not know that a woman’s milk is a means of healing. However, as I said in a previous episode, the sick person’s feeling about something has a profound effect on the disease. على كل حال، ما نظن أن لبن النساء سبب للشفاء. In any case, we do not think that a woman's milk is a reason/cause for healing. وأما ما سأل عنه أنها تكون أماً له فلا تكون أماً له؛ As for what he asked about, that she would be considered as a mother to him, she would not be his mother. لأن من شروط الرضاع أن يكون خمس رضعات فأكثر، فإن كان دون ذلك فإنه فليس بمُحَرِّم؛ That’s because it is one of the conditions of breastfeeding to be five or more breastfeeds. If it is less than that, it does not cause Mahram relationships (i.e., certain lineage-like relationships to occur). أي: لا يوجب أن يكون الرضيع محرماً للمرأة التي رضع منها، ولا تكون هي محرمةً عليه، Meaning: it does not make the one breastfed a Mahram to the woman from whom he was breastfed, and she is not forbidden to him (i.e., as his mother from breastfeeding). كما أن من الشروط أيضاً عند جمهور أهل العلم أن يكون الرضاع في زمنه؛ According to the majority of scholars, it is also a condition that the breastfeeding must occur during its time. أي: في الزمن الذي يتغذى فيه الطفل بالرضاع، Meaning: at the time when the baby is nourished with breastfeeding, أما إذا تجاوز هذا الزمن بأن فُطِم ولم يكن مرتكزاً في رضاعه على اللبن فإن تأثير اللبن في حقه غير واقع، لا يؤثر. However, if he exceeded this time, by being weaned and not being dependent in his breastfeeding on milk, then the effect of the milk [of the woman] on him would not take place. It does not affect him. وقد ذهب بعض العلماء إلى أن رضاع الكبير محرم؛ لعموم قوله تعالى: ﴿وَأُمَّهَاتُكُمُ اللَّاتِي أَرْضَعْنَكُمْ﴾ [النساء: 23]. And some scholars are of the view that breastfeeding an adult makes a Mahram, because of the generality of Allah’s statement: {Your mothers who breastfed you…} (4:23), ولأن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لامرأة أبي حذيفة بالنسبة لمولى أبي حذيفة سالم قال: «أرضعيه تحرمي عليه». and because the Prophet ﷺ said to the wife of Abu Hudhayfah regarding Abu Hudhaifah’s freed slave Saalim, he said, “Breastfeed him so you would become unlawful to him [in marriage].” وكان كبيراً يخدمهم، فاستدل بعض العلماء بهذا على أن رضاع الكبير مؤثر ومحرم، And he was older and would serve them, so some scholars used this as evidence that breastfeeding someone who is older has an effect and makes a Mahram. لكن الجمهور على خلاف ذلك، وأنه لا يؤثر ولا يحرم. However, the majority of scholars are on [a view] contrary to that: it does not have an effect or make Mahram relationships. واختار شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية
