Marriage of the Wet Nurse's Daughter
A woman works as a wet nurse and has breastfed most of the children in the neighborhood. Samia is 41 years old, and Samia's mother breastfed Mohammed, who is 25 years old. Mohammed has proposed to marry Samia's daughter. Is it permissible for him to do so?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If it is established that Um Samiya breastfed Muhammad, then he would be a brother to her daughter, and it is not permissible to marry her. And God knows best.
