this was a question raised by my cousin, who wants the answer to be based on shariya!
the thing is that he is totally in love with another cousin of mine. they have promised to marry and even talked to their parents about it. however the thing is that my female cousin’s mom died on her birth so she was lactated by my male cousin’s mom, ( who had given birth to my male cousins younger sibling at that time as well)as a gesture of taking care of a little baby till suitable arrangements were made.
at the time of their discussion about their marriage, an issue ws raised that since both have been lactated by the same mother..it makes them brother and sister by milk of the same mother!
what steps should they take now. does the shariya really delare them as brother n sister?
or can they be allowed to marry?
but they are so much in love... :(
they wanna be married...plus this thing was not open to them before they fell in love. it was raised when the proposal was discussed with thee whole family!
does that help?

I believe so too
In religous rules there is no argument or discussion b/c for some it is more defenite than man made rules.
There are many love that dont consummate in marriage & for far les strigent & important rules .In this case it is shariah far more important rule than family differences,etnicity or religous differences which are workable e.g. conversion can solve inter religous hitch but in thisd case thee is no way you can work out aginst divine law .
A question once was addressed to an Imam and asked about a smilier situation. The guy called in and asked about his son, that his son had just married a girl who was nursed by the boys mother and now they have gotten married and have a child. Well, the Imam said well actually cried out and said, they must separate immediately. That this is haram haram haram!

u have to find out if she was breast-fed only a few times...if its only a couple of times then i think they can get married

That's true. You need to know exactly how many times she had been breastfeed. If it is less than 5 time(there is some other number. Scholar put it around 5, 7,10 or 15 at max) then it is still okay.
But I am guessing it is more that this. And if that is the case then both of them become haram to each other. Please check with a good scholar.
hmmmm..
theres a little ray of hope for them.
thanx a lot guys, but do keep advising.
who is a genuine scholar these days??
every mullah gives a different fatwa.
i dont think they have recieved a proper answer based on shariya and sunnah!

I don't think they can, they are in all intents and purposes as far as Islam views, brother and sister ('dood shariq' bhen bhai)

Prohibited to you (for marriage) are: your mother, daughters, sisters, father's sisters, mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters, foster-mothers (who fed you their milk), **foster-sisters*; your wives' mothers; your step-daughters, under your guardianship born of your wives to whom ye have gone in no prohibition if ye have not gone in; (those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. *
its directly from the Quran so no need to ask any scholar or anyone else....
the word foster sister here is translated from the arabic words akhawatukum min ar-rada'ati....
and that is exactly the relation between the boy and girl u have talked about....

As far as I know they are haraam on each other, but I wasn't too sure about it. However this aayat makes it clear. No doubt about it.
