3303. It was narrated from 'Āishah that her paternal uncle through breast-feeding, whose name was Aflah, asked permission to meet her, and she observed Hijab before him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was told about that and he said: "Do not observe Hijab before him, for what becomes unlawful (for marriage) through breast-feeding is that which become unlawful through lineage." (Saḥīḥ)
3301 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عِرَاكٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ عَمَّهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ - يُسَمَّى أَفْلَحَ - اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهَا فَحَجَبَتْهُ، فَأُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «لَا تَحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ النَّسَبِ»

'Āishah ﷺ was under the impression that the establishment of relationship to one who suckles and the one who suckled is reasonable, but how could it extend to other relatives of her household? Allāh's Messenger ﷺ explained that in the milk of a woman, there is a share of her husband also. Therefore, the woman's husband and his relatives also stand in relationship to that male or female child who is suckled.
