My parents are suggesting me to get married to my cousin who is mother’s brother’s daughter and 9 months elder to me, but my mother told me that I drank her mother’s milk in my childhood. Is it possible for me to perform Nikah with her? According to Shariah what is the judgment?
Answer:
(Fatwa: 145/121/B=1433)
Your nikah with the said girl is not lawful because she is your foster sister.
يحرم من الرضاعة ما يحرم من النسب
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
