If the breastfeeding that fulfills the conditions (five or more feedings within the first two years) is established, the prohibition (of marriage) is affirmed, and the nursed child becomes a to the nursing woman and her female relatives. The husband is not allowed to prevent this mahramiyyah. However, if there is a fear of fitna (strife or temptation) from the foster brother due to his bad character, the foster sister should be prevented from meeting him and being alone with him.
