Question on Fostering

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Mahmoodiyah

Question:

Assalamualaikum I had a few question that I needed to be know more about.
Recently I found out that my Fathers sister breast feed me she also feed my fathers’ older brothers’ son who do I have to do Pardah with is there Pardah with my fathers older brothers son whom she did feed is there Pardah with the sons real brothers whom she did not feed? Also she feed me 5-8 years after her last child was born does she have milk then? please reply with a detailed answer as the issue of Pardah is brought up Jazaakallah Khair


Answer:

  lang=”AR-SA” dir=”RTL”>98/05

                  

Brother 1 –        Sister –        Brother 2

 

                                                                                                             Daughter             Son 1       Son 2

                                                                                                                          Breastfed

Therefore Son 1 and Daughter of Brother 1 are foster brother and sister.  This ruling will apply if there is Ghaalib Gumaan (strong supposition) that your father’s sister had milk when she breastfed you.  Your cousin (Son 1) will only be your Radhaa’i (foster) brother and Pardah on you will not be Waajib with him but his other brothers (Son 1’s) who were not fed by your aunt will not be your foster brothers, therefore Pardah with them will be Waajib.  (Ad-Durrul Mukhtaar, Vol. 2, Page 437, 439, 443)
