May Allah have mercy upon you brother alcurd it is authentically reported both in the Qur'aan and the hadith of the Prophet that if two persons are suckled by the same woman wether it be biological or just a wetnurse then it is haram for them to marry.

The Prophet of Allah clearly told us:

Breast feeding prohibits what lineage prohibits [Reoprted by Ahmad, Bukhaaree and Muslim]

Imaam Qurtubi mentions in his tafseer clearly:

Aboo Nu'aim 'Ubaid bin 'Abdillaah bin Hishaam al-Halbiyy said Imaam Maalik was asked concerning a woman who married a man and they consumated the marriage then a lady came claiming she had breastfeed both of them. The Imaam replied the two are to be seperated and whatever she recieved as a marriage gift she gets to keep​

Although Imaam Maalik has also been reported to have said that they are not to be seperated but this is not to do with the fact that the breastfeeding might or might not make this type of marriage haram rather it is to do with the fact that the witness of a single woman in Islaam is not to be accepted.

Imaam Maalik said:

The testimony of a single female is not allowed regardless of what she is testify of​

But in this case I believe the sister said that there were other people who witness for the fact that both her husband and herself were suckled by the same lady?

Imaam Maalik said:

Verily the Prophet was asked about the same thing [i.e same incident] and he gave the same verdict, whereupon the companions said o Messenger of Allah verily she is a weak woman! The Prophet of Allah replied will not people say she married her own brother?​

But what you should make sure is that this breastfeeding was more then five times and that they happened during the first two years of both of your lives since these are conditions which Imaam Shaafi'ee puts based on the hadiths of the Prophet.
 
Asalamu Alaykum,

But what you should make sure is that this breastfeeding was more then five times and that they happened during the first two years of both of your lives since these are conditions which Imaam Shaafi'ee puts based on the hadiths of the Prophet.

check the ages of both yourself and your husband, when the wet nurse fed you as the ruling of the nikah being nullified only applies if the child was two years (or two and a half years) when if was given milk.

Okay so it only Applies if both the bro and the sis were breastfeeding in the first 2 years of both of them. Right?

In the sisters sutiation her husband was breastfeeding for his first 3 years and the sister was breastfeeding for her first 2 years. 11 months after her husband stop breastfeeding. So they weren't breast fed at the same time. She was breast fed 11 months after her husband. So their marriage still counts... Or am i getting this mixed up :?

My husband is almost four years, well, three years eleven months older to me, & he was breastfed for three years, I was breastfed by this woman for 2 years-right from when I was born, so the gap is eleven months.

We were certainly not breastfed at the same time, but I was fed after 11 months.
 
Asalamu Alaykum,

Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, sister her question had already been answered by scholars. The marriage is nullified.
 
:sl:

It does not have to be at the same time, if they are suckled by the same woman five times within the two first years then they are not allowed to marry eachother.
 
I pray from the depths of my heart that Allah gives you both the strength and patience to pass this test. Every single human being is tried. This is your and your husband's trial my dear sis :cry: Allah blessed you with many many happy years of marriage, children and love. Now is your test. Just as Ibrahim (as) was tried after being given a son. My dear sis, life is but a few years. Bow your heads in patience to the will of Allah and ask your children to do the same. InshaAllah bearing this pain with patience will unite you both as in the here-after as husband and wife forever. Ameen :cry:

Aameen!


In this case Allahumaa Aameen at all the duaa's in this thread. imsad

No one cares more for the Creation than Allah Himself. A believer does not suffer pain equal to the prick of a thorn without being compensated for it. Can we be so fair in our dealings with each other? Never. If He, SWT tests us during our suffering, He does so that He can reward us for it if we are patient; so He can relieve us of some of the burden of sins we are carrying.

Allah gave this sister and brother years and years of happiness. He blessed them with 5 healthy children. They lived in bliss and contentment for many years. We should look at that time and remember he bestowed upon them His Mercy and Blessings of His own will. Then if due to some human error in their past, it turned out that they now have to live with the consequences, then their test is whether they do so in patience or not.


Allah is not unfair. He won't punish the ex-couple for happened. Yet, He will reward them for their suffering and even more so if they are patient in His will.

We all too easily forget the times of happiness when without our asking Allah is showering blessings after blessings upon us. We forget to show Him gratitude and remember His Kindness and Mercy for us. Yet as soon as any undesirable event occurs in our life the same Allah now becomes unfair? SubhanAllah.


"Truly man is, to his Lord ungrateful." (Quran 100:6)

No one cares more for His creation than He Himself. No one knows the rewards that lie ahead for those we see suffering. No one knows the unseen, except Him. No one knows better what is best for us. InshaAllah let's leave making up our own ideas of what is good for whom and what isn't. The truth is no one knows except Allah.

A Sahih hadith reported by At-Tirmidhi narrates on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: "When Allah created Paradise, He sent Jibreel to it and said, 'Look at it and the pleasures I have prepared for its inhabitants.' So Jibreel came to Paradise and looked at what Allah had prepared for its inhabitants. He then returned to Allah and said, 'I swear by Your Grandeur that not a single person will hear of it except that he will enter it (i.e he will do anything to enter it).' Then Allah ordered Paradise to be surrounded by adversities, calamities and detestable things and He said to Jibreel, 'Go back and look at it and what I have prepared for its inhabitants.' Jibreel went back to Paradise and found that it had been surrounded by adversities, calamities and detestable things, so he returned to Allah and said, 'I swear by Your Grandeur that I fear that no one will enter it (i.e he will do anything to avoid it).'

Then Allah said to Jibreel, 'Go to Hell and look at it and the punishments that I have prepared for its inhabitants.' Jibreel looked at Hell and found it extremely horrible, so he said to Allah, 'I swear by Your Grandeur that not a single person will hear of it except that he will avoid entering it.' Then Allah ordered Hell to be surrounded by desires and luxuries and said to Jibreel, 'Go back to it.' Jibreel returned to Hell and then said, 'I swear by Your Grandeur that no one will be able to escape from it.'"

A life full of hardships is a positive sign. What are the things that a person detests in life? Fear, hunger, poverty, thirst, lack of security, lack of shelter, imprisonment, bereavement, being estranged from loved ones, loneliness, uncertainty, etc., etc., to name but a few. Yet these are also some of the things that Paradise is surrounded by; these are the things that indicate whether or not a believer is on the path to Paradise.

Then consider, what are the things that a person desires or loves in life? Wealth, children, spacious dwelling, safety, security, plentiful food and drink, expensive clothing, being with loved ones, etc., etc., to name but a few. Yet these are also some of the things that Hell is surrounded by; these are the things that indicate to a believer whether or not he is going towards his eternal destruction.

For this reason, many of the wealthy Sahabah used to weep uncontrollably whilst repeating the verse in Surah Al-Ahqaf (46:20): "And the Day, those who disbelieved are exposed to the Fire, it will be said, 'You exhausted your pleasures during your worldly life and enjoyed them, so this Day you will be awarded the punishment of extreme humiliation because you were arrogant upon the earth without right and because you were defiantly disobedient.'" Umar bin Al-Khattab, Abdur-Rahman bin Awf and others, may Allah be pleased with them all, would frequently mention this verse, when they even experienced pleasures as small as a wholesome meal.

Following your desires leads to the Hell Fire. That is why many of the Pious Predecessors used to say, "If you want to obey Allah, disobey your nafs (soul, desires, etc)." Likewise, it is reported in a poem from Imam Ash-Shafi (Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak is also said to have mentioned it): "The best thing for your nafs (soul) is to disobey it." Therefore, if you want to obey Allah, consult your heart and do the opposite of what your soul orders you to do. If your soul orders you to sleep instead of praying, get up and pray. If your soul orders you to only spend out of your unwanted possessions, then spend out of the things you love most, for Allah says in Surah Ale-Imran (3:92): "Never shall you attain true piety unless you spend from that which you love." If your soul orders you to pray at home, go and pray in the masjid. If your soul orders you to relax at home instead of visiting your sick, fellow Muslim, get up and go visit your sick, fellow Muslim for you will find Allah with him.

Therefore, consider your life and be your own judge. If Allah is pouring upon you luxury upon luxury, wealth upon wealth, comfort upon comfort, then that is a sign that something is wrong and it is something to worry about. Moreover, if this is happening whilst you are disobedient to Allah or neglectful of His Commands, then it is a sign of your imminent destruction. Luxuries and comforts make a person forget Allah and become heedless in their duties.

On the other hand, if you are trying your best to worship Allah and be mindful of His Commands, and yet your life is fraught with adversities, hardships and detestable things, then rejoice for this is a good indication that you are on the path to Paradise. Adversities and hardships make a believer remember Allah more and turn to Him with sincerity. A well-known saying says: "Hardship is as beneficial to the soul as it is unwelcome in life. And comfort is as harmful to the soul as it is welcome in life."

Islamic history is riddled with examples of Muslims who withstood tests that would seem unimaginably difficult today.

The Muslims of the past had an abundance of patience and perseverance which are two important traits of this beautiful tree of Iman.

Two Muslims who were of the most firmly rooted of believers were Sumayyah and Yasir, may God be pleased with them. After being among the first Muslims and agreeing to accept Islam in a very tumultuous period, Sumayyah and Yasir along with their son Ammar were tortured mercilessly at the hands of Abu Jahl. The family was left unprotected since they had no tribal affiliations in Makkah.

Unable to physically help them at the time, the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, would visit them and say, "be patient, O family of Yasir, because your promised place is Paradise." He would then turn his face to the sky and say: "O Lord! Forgive the family of Yasir." The prophet also prayed for the alleviation of Ammar's suffering by placing Ammar's head in his lap and saying: "O fire! Be cool and harmless for Ammar in the same manner in which you became cool and harmless for Ibrahim."

Sumayyah and Yasir were both martyred in the cause of Allah, Glory be to Him, after refusing to leave their faith which was dearer to them than life itself. The family was honoured with the best of honours: the prophet's guarantee of their home in paradise. These are the examples we should take as guides to our own lives. Too often do we compromise what we believe in to accommodate the uneducated assumptions of others. Too often do we forget the immense history of Islam and Muslims.

One of the reasons we have the gift of Islam is because we stand on the shoulders of people like Sumayyah and Yasir, may Allah be pleased with them. People who did not waver, did not compromise their Iman to please others or even to save their own lives. Just like in our Islamic history, our strength as a community and as individuals today can only stem from the remembrance of and obedience to Allah, Glory be to Him. These times are difficult and the pain often hits close to home. But by holding fast to our belief in la illaha ill Allah , we will stay firmly rooted, our branches will tower high towards the sky, and our hearts will never lack sustenance, InshaAllah.

Never see tests as a bad thing for the more we are tested the more closer we can get to Allah and the hgher ranks we will gain in Jannah!

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "When Allah desires good for someone, He tries him with hardships." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî]

Look at what Hazrat Yaqub (As) and Hazrat Ayyub (As) went through! They lost EVERYTHING yet they kept patient and knew it was Allah testing them and Allah became so happy with them because they remained patient and had hope and trust in Allah.

The path to Jannah is not an easy one. Inevitabley we will be faced with tests. My friend lost his wife when she was just 19 and the first thing he said was, it was the decree of Allah. Obviously he mourned but he accepted it and is waiting for her in Jannah!

So O prisoners in the Path of Allah, do not be sad when you are given miserable food, when you are given ragged clothes, when you are estranged from your family and loved ones and when you see others surpass you in wealth and children. Rather, rejoice and be happy as these are all signs that you are on the path towards Paradise, which is surrounded by so many detestable things that even the Angel Jibreel feared no one would be able to enter it because of these adversities.

The 13th Century scholar Al-Izz bin Abdus-Salam said, "The state of tribulation and affliction drives man closer to Almighty Allah, whereas the state of health and blessing drives him away from Allah, as He says in the Quran, 'And when harm touches man, he invokes Us, lying down on his side, or sitting or standing. But when We have removed his harm from him, he passes on his way as if he has never invoked Us for a harm that touched him!...' (Quran 10:12)"

Hasan Al-Basri said, "Do not detest the misfortunes that befall you, for what you detest may be the cause of your salvation and what you like may be the cause of your ruin."

Ali bin Abi Talib is reported to have said, may Allah be pleased with him, "O son of Adam, do not be happy with richness and do not despair of poverty. Do not feel sad during affliction and do not rejoice over prosperity, for just as gold is tried by fire, the pious are tried by affliction. You will not attain what you want except by giving up what you desire, and you will not attain what you aspire to except by enduring patiently what you hate, and exerting yourself in implementing that which has been made compulsory upon you (by Allah)."

Remember Allah is with those who are patient and the Reward for Patience is Paradise!

‘Ata ibn Rabah related that he heard Ibn ‘Abbas say: “Shall I show you a woman of Paradise?” I said: “Yes, indeed.” He said: “A black woman came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and said: ‘I suffer from epileptic fits, and because of these, (at times) my body becomes uncovered. Would you invoke Allah, the Exalted One, to cure me of this disease? ‘ The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: ‘If you wish, you can be patient and you will attain Paradise (for this suffering). But if you prefer, I will pray to Allah, the Exalted, to cure you of it?’ The woman said: ‘I will be patient,’ then added: ‘I become uncovered (when I have fits), so invoke Allah for me that I do not become uncovered. ‘ So the Prophet, peace be upon him, prayed for her.” [Source: Fiqh-us-Sunnah, volume 4, #1a]

So tests and calamitys are a blessing in disguise and Allah wanting us to get closer to him so if we bare with in with Patience hoping for reward then Allah is with us and best of all we will get closer to Allah and feel true contentment and happiness in the heart and we will attain Paradise inshallah!

Finally bare this in mind that on the day of Judgement when we will be shown the extent of potential rewards we could have gained from being patient through hardships and trials then we would wish to return to earth and live in it in complete poverty, hardships and trials just so that we could gain the huge rewards and higher rank in Jannah!

JazakAllah.
Well said, sis.
 
:wa:

Assalam Alaikum wa rahamatullah wa barakatuh,

...I have spoken to one British Sheikh & another Sheikh online, both say that we are divorced. :cry:

.

I also got the same reply .

The person need to separate from him and cannot have intercourse because she is his sister. Because of his or her ignorant they got married. Also His children will heritage.

Big Note: They need to verify how many time they been breastfeed. If it was breastfeed 5 time when I mean by 5 time. I meant that a baby have satisfy when he drinks milk. Example: If a baby is sucking first suck and then stop for while for playing and then again suck same session until he doesn't want anymore this consider it one breastfeeding. So if he or she did five time then they are brother and sister in breastfeeding.

** sis, may Allah increase ur patinece and give u best rewards for all the pain and sufferings you are going through now.
 
:wa:

Assalam Alaikum wa rahamatullah wa barakatuh,

Now according to Prophet Muhammad's(pbuh) words, we should be divorced.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Book 48, Number 828:
.


How are u sis ? Not only in hadith , in holy Quran also , this marriage is prohibited.

Forbidden to you (for marriage) are: your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster mother who gave you suck, your foster milk suckling sisters....4:23

This is not a test - i still cannot believe us humans are put through so much By Allah - this is a terrible thing you are going through sister i just hope time can heal your pain.

Aslaamu`alaaykum....
If its not a test , what is your answer?
Has Allaah not told us he will test us even some with the hardist?
Are you not aware of what the people at the time Musa (as) were put through? there tests were harder..
You cannot prove its not a Test by the Allmighty, when a test comes from the ALlmighty it doesnt talk to us and say "I am a test"..
Where there is Hardship involved surely its part of test.

Time is created by Allaah, so therefore time will cure her pain as Allaah Knows all..

Dear sister i am not able to feel your pain but i truly understand your pain, and i Ask Allaah to ease the pain and reward you with your patience..and realising what Allaah has made for you..Insha`Allaah if you and your husband are not together in this Dunya.. in the next by the will of Allaah you will surely be together Insha`Allaah
Indeed you will return to your lord one day, facing him and Indeed you will answer him and and all of Mankind..
Here are some verses Insha`Allaah they make you feel better and smile :statisfie *Smiles*
The prophet Abraham(as) was put through a very difficult pain, today noone could bare it, they would commit suicide or do something which is harmful for them..Allah knew he could bare that..as Allah knows everything. remmeber Allaah says he tests us and doesnt burden us more than what we can bare. A believer will be tested in their Life, and remmeber Jannah isnt Cheap! There is a reward at the end as Allah promised.

[2:186]
And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.

[2:285]
The Messenger (Muhammad SAW) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say, "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers" - and they say, "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)."

[2:286]
Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maula (Patron, Suppor-ter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people.
:statisfie
If i have said anything harsh ,bad and wrong forgive me:(
I hope i helped out Insha`ALlaah

Dear Muslim no one but Allah can comfort someone that despairs over Islam.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 43:

Narrated Um Habiba:

I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Marry my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan." He said, "Do you like that?" I said, "Yes, for even now I am not your only wife; and the most beloved person to share the good with me is my sister." The Prophet said, "But that is not lawful for me (i.e., to be married to two sisters at a time.)" I said, "O Allah's Apostle! By Allah, we have heard that you want to marry Durra, the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "You mean the daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "By Allah ! Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she would not be lawful for me to marry, for she is my foster niece, for Thuwaiba has suckled me and Abu Salama; so you should neither present your daughters, nor your sisters to me."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 46:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet forbade that a woman should be married to a man along with her paternal aunt or with her maternal aunt (at the same time). Az-Zuhri (the sub-narrator) said: There is a similar order for the paternal aunt of the father of one's wife, for 'Ursa told me that 'Aisha said, "What is unlawful because of blood relations, is also unlawful because of the corresponding foster suckling relations."


Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 74:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Beware of suspicion (about others), as suspicion is the falsest talk, and do not spy upon each other, and do not listen to the evil talk of the people about others' affairs, and do not have enmity with one another, but be brothers. And none should ask for the hand of a girl who is already engaged to his (Muslim) brother, but one should wait till the first suitor marries her or leaves her."

Surah Hadid 57:22-24

57:22 No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree before We bring it into existence: That is truly easy for Allah.
(Y. Ali translation)

57:23 In order that ye may not despair over matters that pass you by, nor exult over favours bestowed upon you. For Allah loveth not any vainglorious boaster,- (Y. Ali translation)

57:24 Such persons as are covetous and commend covetousness to men. And if any turn back (from Allah's Way), verily Allah is Free of all Needs, Worthy of all Praise. (Y. Ali translation)

Surah Nisa 4:65

4:65 But no, by the Lord, they can have no (real) Faith, until they make thee judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against Thy decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction.
(Y. Ali translation)
