(May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
Reference
to your answer to Question No.2281)Husband sucking breast u have given the
below text in
The scholars of all the major schools of thought are absolutely unanimous that
if the husband accidentally or voluntarily tastes the milk of his wife,
it has absolutely no bearing on the validity of their Nikaah. Drinking of
a woman's milk forms foster-relations only when an infant sucks the breast of a
woman in his infancy. u have given that accidently or voluntarily sucks or
tastes the milk of wife , how can it be.
A
married person knows when he sucks the breast of wife hard the milk will come
out provided she is feeding the baby.
so
accidently we can agree, volantarily i doubt.
what i heard was accidently then he once he knew its milk comming out then he
has to stop.
when u tell voluntarily means he can taste knowlingly.i doubt on
please clarify.

Answer:
Voluntary sucking of
wife milk
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Respected brother in Islam, it is only obvious and only
natural that no adult person would wish to fulfill his appetite by drinking the
milk of his wife’s breast….but that is obviously not the issue! The issue is whether if a husband happens to
taste, intentionally or unintentionally, the milk from his wife’s breast….would
it effect their relationship or the validity of their marriage…and the answer
is ‘NO”, because in light of the guidance of the Messenger of Allah (saws)
foster relationships are only formed when sucking takes place during the age of
infancy.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 3.815 Narrated by Aisha
Once the Prophet (saws) came to me while a
man was in my house. He (saws) said, "O 'Aisha! Who is this
(man)?" I replied, "My foster
brother." He (saws) said, "O
'Aisha! Be sure about your foster brothers, as fostership is only
valid if it takes place in the suckling period (before two years of age)."
Your
Question: what i heard was accidently then he once he knew its milk comming out
then he has to stop.
Respected brother in Islam, to the best of our knowledge
there is no prohibition in either the Glorious Quran or the authentic or
established Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws) whereby a husband is
specifically forbidden to taste of the milk from his wife’s breast.
What one merely ‘hears’ of a prohibition is not
important….what is of paramount importance and significance is that the
prohibition for the act must, and we reiterate, must be found in either the
Quran or the authentic Sunnah….and to the best of our knowledge, there is no
such specific prohibition in the Quran or the Sunnah whereby a husband is
commanded to stop once he knows that the milk is coming out!
If you could kindly provide us the reference of the
narration from the authentic Sunnah where this prohibition is specifically
mentioned, we would be extremely grateful.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
