English translation

5239. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: My foster uncle came and asked permission (to enter) but I refused to admit him till I asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about that. He said, "He is your uncle, so allow him to come in." I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have been suckled by a woman and not by a man.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “He is your uncle, so let him enter upon you.” And that happened after the order of Al-Hijāb (compulsory veiling) was revealed. All things which become unlawful because of blood relations are unlawful because of the corresponding foster suckling relations.

5239 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: جَاءَ عَمِّي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ، حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ، فَأْذَنِي لَهُ» قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي المَرْأَةُ، وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ، قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ، فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ ضُرِبَ عَلَيْنَا الحِجَابُ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: «يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الوِلاَدَةِ»
