Husband sucking breast
Mu' meneen
Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa
Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be
upon all of you)
One of our
brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Can a husband suck his wife`s breasts
while she breast feeds a baby? (is it permissible in
the first place?)
(There may be some
grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not
change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our
readers for circulation in confidentiality.)
Answer:
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Touching, playing, fondling or sucking of a wife’s breast is absolutely legal for the husband.
The scholars of all the major schools of thought are
absolutely unanimous that if the husband accidentally or voluntarily tastes the
milk of his wife, it
has absolutely no bearing on the validity of their Nikaah. Drinking of a woman’s
milk forms foster-relations only when an infant sucks the breast of a woman in
his infancy.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Wister
