her that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
with her and she heard the voice of a man asking permission to enter the room
of Hafsa. A'isha said that she had said, "Messenger of Allah! There is a man
asking permission to enter your house!" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "I think it is so-and-so" (referring to a
paternal uncle of Hafsa by suckling). A'isha said, "Messenger of Allah! If
so-and-so were alive (referring to her paternal uncle by suckling) could he
enter where I am?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Yes. Suckling makes haram as birth makes haram."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham
ibn Urwa from his father that A'isha, umm al-muminin said, "My paternal uncle
by suckling came to me and I refused to give him permission to enter until I
had asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
about it. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
came and I asked him about it. He said, 'He is your paternal uncle, so give
him permission.' So I said, 'Messenger of Allah! The woman nursed me not the
man.' He said, 'He is your paternal uncle, so let him enter.' "
A'isha said, "That was after the veil had
been imposed on us."
A'isha added, "What is haram by birth is made
haram by suckling."

bless him and grant him peace, came, I told him about what I had done, and he
ordered me to give him permission to enter."

Salim said, "Umm Kulthum nursed me three

30.1.10:
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibrahim
ibn Uqba asked Said ibn al-Musayyab about suckling. Said said, "All that
occurs in the first two years, even if it is only a drop, makes haram.
Whatever is after two years, is only food that is eaten."

ibn az-Zubayr and he told me the same as what Said ibn al-Musayyab said."
Book 30, Number
30.1.11:
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn
Said said that he heard Said ibn al-Musayyab say, "Suckling is only while the
child is in the cradle. If not, it does not cause flesh and blood relations."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn
Shihab that he said, "Suckling however little or much, makes haram. Kinship by
suckling makes men mahram."
Yahya said that he had heard Malik say,
"Suckling, however little or much when it is in the first two years, makes
haram. As for what is after the first two years, little or much, it does not
make anything haram. It is like food."
Section: Suckling of Older People
Book 30, Number
30.2.12:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn
Shihab that he was asked about the suckling of an older person. He said,
''Urwa ibn az-Zubayr informed me that Abu Hudhayfa ibn Utba ibn Rabia, one of
the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, who was present at Badr, adopted Salim (who is called Salim, the mawla
of Abu Hudhayfa) as the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, adopted Zayd ibn Haritha. He thought of him as his son, and Abu
Hudhayfa married him to his brother's sister, Fatima bint al-Walid ibn Utba
ibn Rabia, who was at that time among the first emigrants. She was one of the
best unmarried women of the Quraysh. When Allah the Exalted sent down in His
Book what He sent down about Zayd ibn Haritha, 'Call them after their true
fathers. That is more equitable in the sight of Allah. If you do not know who
their fathers were then they are your brothers in the deen and your mawali,'
(Sura 33 ayat 5) people in this position were traced back to their fathers.
When the father was not known, they were traced to their mawla.
"Sahla bint Suhayl who was the wife of Abu
Hudhayfa, and one of the tribe of Amr ibn Luayy, came to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah!
We think of Salim as a son and he comes in to see me while I am uncovered. We
only have one room, so what do you think about the situation?' The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Give him five drinks
of your milk and he will be mahram by it.' She then saw him as a foster son.
A'isha umm al-muminin took that as a precedent for whatever men she wanted to
be able to come to see her. She ordered her sister, Umm Kulthum bint Abi Bakr
as-Siddiq and the daughters of her brother to give milk to whichever men she
wanted to be able to come in to see her. The rest of the wives of the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, refused to let anyone come in to them
by such nursing. They said, 'No! By Allah! We think that what the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered Sahla bint Suhayl to
do was only an indulgence concerning the nursing of Salim alone. No! By Allah!
No one will come in upon us by such nursing!'
"This is what the wives of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, thought about the suckling of an older
person."
Book 30, Number
30.2.13:
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah
ibn Dinar said, "A man came to Abdullah ibn Umar when I waswith him at the
place where judgments were given and asked him about the suckling of an older
person. Abdullah ibn Umar replied, 'A man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and
said, 'I have a slave-girl and I used to have intercourse with her. My wife
went to her and suckled her. When I went to the girl, my wife told me to watch
out, because she had suckled her!' Umar told him to beat his wife and to go to
his slave-girl because kinship by suckling was only by the suckling of the
young.' "
Book 30, Number
30.2.14:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn
Said that a man said to Abu Musa al-Ashari, "I drank some milk from my wife's
breasts and it went into my stomach." Abu Musa said, "I can only but think
that she is haram for you." Abdullah ibn Masud said, "Look at what opinion you
are giving the man." Abu Musa said, "Then what do you say?" Abdullah ibn Masud
said, "There is only kinship by suckling in the first two years."
Abu Musa said, "Do not ask me about anything
while this learned man is among you."

heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'I
intended to prohibit ghila but I remembered that the Greeks and Persians do
that without it causing any injury to their children.' "
Malik explained, "Ghila is that a man has
intercourse with his wife while she is suckling."
Book 30, Number
30.3.17:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah
ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm from Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman that A'isha, the wife of
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Amongst what was
sent down of the Qur'an was 'ten known sucklings make haram' - then it was
abrogated by 'five known sucklings'. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, died, it was what is now recited of the
Qur'an."
Yahya said that Malik said, "One does not act
on this."
