Does a girl breastfed by the stepmother become a sister through suckling to the husband's children?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a girl is suckled by your father's wife with your father's milk, then she is your sister through suckling (rada'a) and one of your unmarriageable kin (), and the rulings of mahramiyya apply to her. However, if the milk is not from your father, then she is not your sister.
