3300 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَالِكٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا حَرَّمَتْهُ الْوِلَادَةُ حَرَّمَهُ الرَّضَاعُ»

Commentary
The same categories of relatives who are unlawful for one to marry because of one's relation to them are also unlawful to one by foster relationship (through having been breastfed by a particular wet-nurse in infancy). But it should, however, be kept clearly in mind that those categories of relatives would be unlawful only to the child who has been breast-fed; they would not be unlawful to his other kinship relations. For instance, it is unlawful for the one breastfed in infancy to marry his foster mother and sister, but to marry them is not unlawful to his other brothers. In other words, the whole household of the foster-mother is unlawful to the child who has been breastfed, but the household of the breastfed child are not unlawful to his foster-mother and the other relatives of her household.
