1937 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ النَّسَبِ»

Commentary
The details of the women who are prohibited for marriage due to fosterage (suckling a baby) are the following: Foster Mother: Who suckled you during the foster period (first two years of infancy). Foster Sister: Your real or foster mother suckled her, along with you, before you or after you; or a woman whose real or foster mother suckled you; i.e., all blood related children and the foster children of a woman will become brothers and sisters of the suckling child. Foster maternal aunt: The sisters of the foster mother will become maternal aunts of the suckling child. Foster paternal aunt: The husband of the foster mother will be the father of the suckling child; therefore, the sisters of the foster father will become paternal aunts and his brothers will be the paternal uncles of the suckling child. Other real brothers and sisters of the suckling child, who did not suckle the same foster mother, will not have any foster relation with the woman and her children.
