Is it permissible for the father to examine his older infant daughter (Rima)? And is his ten-year-old son considered a brother to these girls? And is it permissible for him to kiss them, knowing that the mother breastfed the son, and the wife breastfed the daughter, and that the mother swore that her breastfeeding of her son was more extensive than her wife's breastfeeding of her daughter?
The one who breastfeeds from a woman five times or more within the two years becomes a son to her and to her husband, the owner of the milk, due to the Almighty's saying: "And your mothers who have suckled you," and the Hadith: "What is prohibited by lineage is prohibited by suckling." Therefore, the daughter your wife breastfed five times is considered your daughter and hers, and her siblings who were not breastfed are strangers to you both. Your son Mishari is considered a son to Saad and his wife and a brother to their children by suckling, excluding his other siblings whom Umm Abdullah did not breastfeed.
