Milk attributed to the husband (laban al-fahl): those who disliked it

Amr bin al-Sharid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked: If a man has a wife and a slave woman, and one of them gives birth to a boy and the other nurses a girl, is it permissible for that boy to marry the girl who was nursed? He said: No, because the cause of the milk flowing in both of them is one man.

Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) considered laban al-fahl (the milk relationship traced through the man who caused the woman's milk to flow) disliked, and he disliked Ibrahim's view on it.

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) considered laban al-fahl (the milk relationship traced through the man who caused the woman's milk to flow) disliked.

Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) considered laban al-fahl (the milk relationship traced through the man who caused the woman's milk to flow) disliked.

It is narrated from Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) that, in his view, the man who causes a woman's milk to flow also establishes prohibition (through fosterage).

Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) considered laban al-fahl (the milk relationship traced through the man who caused the woman's milk to flow) disliked.

Abbad bin Mansur (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him): My father's wife nursed an unrelated girl with the milk of my brothers from my father; is she lawful for me? He said: No, your father is her father.

(Abbad bin Mansur said:) I asked Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said the same.

(Abbad bin Mansur said:) And I asked al-Hasan, and he said the same.

(Abbad bin Mansur said:) And I asked Mujahid, and he said: People have differed about it, and I do not say anything about it.

(Abbad bin Mansur said:) And I asked Ibn Sirin, and he said the same as what Mujahid said.

Ayyub (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I mentioned this to Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: I have been told that the people of Madinah differed about it. Some declared it disliked, and in the view of others it carries no weight. Those who declared it disliked are better in our view.

Al-Qasim bin Muhammad was among those who disliked it.

Muhammad bin Amr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Al-Zuhri came to Madinah in the early days of the caliphate of Hisham, and he related that Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) used to narrate from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that Abu al-Qu'ays (may Allah have mercy on him) sought permission to visit Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and the wife of Abu al-Qu'ays's brother had nursed her. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) refused to give him permission. Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) stated that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "Why did you not give him permission? Nursing makes unlawful the same things that lineage makes unlawful."

The people of Madinah were alarmed by this, and Abdullah bin Abi Habibah, the freed slave of al-Zubayr, divorced his wife on that occasion.

Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The ruling on the man who is the cause of a woman's milk (laban al-fahl) was once mentioned before Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: Some people consider it disliked, and some have permitted it. The view of those who considered it disliked is better.

Al-Qasim bin Muhammad was among those who disliked it.

Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) reports that his father regarded the milk-relationship through the man who is the cause of a woman's milk (laban al-fahl) as disliked.
