Sunan Ibn Majah 1939 (Book 9, Hadith 95) #31291
Prohibiting Marriage of Relatives Through Breastfeeding

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) refused to marry a woman who was related to him through breastfeeding, as it is not permissible in Islam.

It was narrated from 'Urwah bin Zubair that Zainab bint Abi Salmah told him that Umm Habibah told her that she said to Messenger of Allah: "Marry my sister 'Azzah". The Messenger of Allah said: 'Would you like that? "She said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah. I am not the only one living with you and the one who most deserves to share good things with me is my sister". The Messenger of Allah said: "But that is not permissible for me". She said: "But we thought that you wanted to marry Durrah bint Abi Salmah". The Messenger of Allah said: The daughter of Umm Salamah?" She said: "Yes" The Messenger of Allah said: "Even if she were not my step-daughter who is under my care, she would not be permissible for me, because she is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding. Tuwaybah breastfed both her father and I. So do not offer your sisters and daughters to me for marriage".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ حَدَّثَتْهَا أَنَّهَا، قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ انْكِحْ أُخْتِي عَزَّةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ أَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَقُّ مَنْ شَرِكَنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَإِنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنْكِحَ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حِجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَاهَا ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَىَّ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ بَنَاتِكُنَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ نَحْوَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of marriage laws in Islam. It is narrated from 'Urwah bin Zubair that Zainab bint Abi Salmah told him that Umm Habibah asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to marry her sister, Azzah. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) refused this request because Azzah was related to him through breastfeeding. Tuwaybah breastfed both her father and the Prophet Muhammad, so it would not be permissible for them to get married according to Islamic law. This hadith teaches us that marriage between relatives through breastfeeding is prohibited in Islam and should be avoided at all costs. It also shows us how important it is for Muslims to follow Islamic laws when it comes to marriage and other matters of life.
