Is the female child whom the woman nursed after her divorce from her ex-husband, the owner of the milk, forbidden to him, whether that was during the nursing period of their first child or after its weaning?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a man divorces his nursing wife, and she nurses a baby girl five times within two years after her divorce, then this baby girl becomes her daughter through nursing, and also his daughter; because she was nursed from milk produced as a result of his intercourse. And if that girl, after weaning her child from her husband, nurses a baby boy, this boy becomes his son through nursing; because the milk is his milk, and she becomes his sister through nursing. The ruling is related to the milk, not to weaning.
