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

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ جَاءَ عَمِّي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَىَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَأْذَنِي لَهُ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ ضُرِبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الْوِلاَدَةِ  

My foster uncle came to me and sought permission (to enter the house), but I refused him permission until I had solicited the opinion of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, I said to him: My foster-uncle sought my permission to (enter the house), but I did not permit him, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You better admit your uncle (into the house). I ('A'isha) said: It was the woman who suckled me and not the man. (But he) said: He is your uncle, admit him.  

جَاءَ عَمِّي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَىَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْمِرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ إِنَّ عَمِّي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَىَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ عَمُّكِ قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ  

"My paternal uncle Aflah asked permission to enter upon me after the (Verse of) Hijab had been revealed, but I did not let him in. The Prophet came to me and I asked him (about that) and he said: 'Let him in, for he is your paternal uncle.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the woman breast-fed me, not the man.' He said: 'Let him in, may your hands be rubbed with dust, for he is your uncle.'"  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَىَّ عَمِّي أَفْلَحُ بَعْدَ مَا نَزَلَ الْحِجَابُ فَلَمْ آذَنْ لَهُ فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ قَالَ ائْذَنِي لَهُ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ  

“My uncle through suckling came and asked permission (to enter) but I refused to admit him until I asked the Messenger of Allah. So the Messenger of Allah said: “Let him in since he is your uncle.’” She said: “It is only the woman who suckled me; I was not suckled by the man.’ So he said: ‘Indeed he is your uncle, so let him in.’”  

جَاءَ عَمِّي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَىَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْمِرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ  

X“My paternal uncle through breastfeeding came to visit me and I refused to let him in. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Let your paternal uncle visit you.' I said: 'But it is the woman who breastfed me; the man did not breastfeed me.' He said: 'He is your paternal uncle; let him visit you.”  

جَاءَ عَمِّي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَىَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ عَمُّكِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ  

[Machine] That Abu Quais's brother was successful. He asked Aisha for permission, but she refused to grant it to him. When the Prophet ﷺ came, she said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Quais's brother asked for my permission, but I refused to grant it to him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allow him." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, it was only a woman who breastfed me, not a man." He said, "Allow him, for he is your uncle through your mother's side."  

أَنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ائْذَنِي لَهُ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ؟ قَالَ ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ  

[Machine] "A'ishah reported that her uncle came to her after the command for women to observe the hijab was revealed, and she refused to give him permission. So I asked him why he wanted permission, and he said, 'Give him permission, for he is your uncle.' I said, 'The milk I drank was from a woman, not a man.' He said, 'May your right hand be covered in dust, give him permission, for he is your uncle.'"  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ جَاءَ عَمِّي بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ الْحِجَابُ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ؟ قَالَ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عَمُّكِ  

[Machine] "My uncle came to me from the breast-feeding and asked for permission from me after the curtain was struck. I said, 'I will not grant you permission until I seek permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' So, I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, 'Let your uncle come in to you.' I said, 'Indeed, the woman breastfed me and the man did not breastfeed me.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'He is your uncle, so let him come in to you.'"  

جَاءَنِي عَمِّي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيَّبَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ الْحِجَابُ قُلْتُ لَا آذَنُ لَكَ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ عَمُّكِ قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هُوَ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ  

[Machine] Abu Al-Quais came to visit Aisha and asked for her permission, but she did not give him permission. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, she said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Quais came to ask for permission to see me, but I did not give him permission." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He is your uncle, so let him enter upon you." I said, "I was breastfed by a woman, but not breastfed by a man." He said, "He is your uncle, so let him enter upon you."  

إِنَّ أَبَا الْقُعَيْسِ أَتَى عَائِشَةَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمْ تَأْذَنْ لَهُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا قُعَيْسٍ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمْ آذَنْ لَهُ فَقَالَ هُوَ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَدْخُلْ عَلَيْكِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ هُوَ عَمُّكَ فَلْيَدْخُلْ عَلَيْكِ  

[Machine] Her uncle, the brother of her father Al-Quais, came to seek permission from her after the veiling of women had been commanded. She refused to give him permission until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sought permission for him. When the Prophet ﷺ came, she mentioned this to him, and she said, "My uncle, the brother of my father, came, and I kept repeating it until I sought your permission." He said, "Isn't he your uncle?" She said, "He breastfed me, but I was not breastfed by a man." He said, "He is your uncle, so let him enter upon you." Aisha used to say that what is forbidden by birth is also forbidden by breastfeeding.  

أَنَّ عَمَّهَا أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ الْحِجَابُ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَسْتَأْذِنَهُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَتْ جَاءَ عَمِّي أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ فَرَدَدْتُهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ قَالَ «أَوَ لَيْسَ بِعَمِّكِ؟» قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ» فَقََالَتْ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الْوِلَادَةِ  

[Machine] She said, "My cousin, Abu Qays' brother, asked for permission to see me after the veil was struck upon us. So I said, 'I will not give you permission until the Prophet ﷺ comes.' When the Prophet ﷺ came, I sought his permission and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my cousin, Abu Qays' brother, asked for permission to see me, but I refused to give him permission until I sought your permission. The wife of Abu Qays breastfed me, and Abu Qays did not breastfeed me.' He ﷺ said, 'Give him permission, for he is your uncle.'  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَخُو أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ فَقُلْتُ لَا آذَنُ لَكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ وَإِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي أَبُو قُعَيْسٍ فَقَالَ ﷺ «ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ»  

[Machine] "She said, 'The brother of my father's uncle, Qua'is, requested permission to see me after the veil was struck on us. So I said, 'I will not allow you until the Prophet ﷺ comes.' When the Prophet ﷺ came, I sought his permission and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the brother of my father's uncle, Qua'is, requested permission to see me, and I refused to grant him permission until I seek your permission. The wife of my father's uncle, Qua'is, breastfed me, and Abu Qua'is did not breastfeed me.' So he said, 'Grant him permission, for he is your uncle.'"  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَخُو أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ فَقُلْتُ لَا آذَنُ لَكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ وَإِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي أَبُو قُعَيْسٍ فَقَالَ «ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ»  

"My paternal uncle Aflah asked permission to enter upon me after the (Verse of) Hijab had been revealed, but I did not let him in. The Prophet came to me and I asked him (about that) and he said: 'Let him in, for he is your paternal uncle.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the woman breast-fed me, not the man.' He said: 'Let him in, may your hands be rubbed with dust, for he is your uncle.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3317)  

اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ عَمِّي أَفْلَحُ بَعْدَمَا نَزَلَ الْحِجَابُ فَلَمْ آذَنْ لَهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ «ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ قَالَ «ائْذَنِي لَهُ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ»  

"Let him in, for he is your paternal uncle." She said: "The woman breast-fed me, not the man." He said: "He is your paternal uncle, so let him visit you." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3315)  

أَنَّ أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ بَعْدَ آيَةِ الْحِجَابِ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ» فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ»  

[Machine] The brother of my father's uncle came to seek permission from her after the veil was struck, but she refused to give him permission until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and she sought his permission. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, she mentioned that to him. He said, "Did your uncle not come?" She said, "The woman breastfed me and the man did not breastfeed me." He said, "He is your uncle, so let him enter upon you." Aisha considered breastfeeding to establish the relationship similar to that established by birth. They both reported it in Sahih from the Hadith of Hisham bin 'Urwah.  

أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ جَاءَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ الْحِجَابُ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَسْتَأْذِنَهُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَتْ جَاءَ عَمِّي أَخُو أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ فَرَدَدْتُهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ فَقَالَ أَوَلَيْسَ بِعَمِّكِ؟ قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَيَلِجُ عَلَيْكِ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ تُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا تُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الْوِلَادَةِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ  

"عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: جَاءَ أَفْلَح أَخُو أبِي القعيس يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ: إِنِّي عَمُّهَا فَأَبَتْ أنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: أَفَلَا أَذِنْتِ لِعَمِّكِ؟ قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرَأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ، قَالَ: فأذني له فإنَّهُ عَمُّكِ تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ، وَكَانَ أبو القعيس أَخَا زَوْجِ المَرْأَةِ الَّتِي أَرْضَعَتْ عَائِشَةَ".
