Hi readers! Are you wondering, "Can a husband drink the breast milk of his wife in Islam?" If your answer is "Yes," congratulations! You're reading the right article. In this article, I will explain the ruling regarding this topic in Islamic teachings. As Muslims, it's important for us to understand such matters, and that's why I wrote this article. Be sure to read it to the end.
There are two main aspects to address regarding this question:
Is Breast Milk of Wife Halal?
The first important thing to understand is, "Is the breast milk of a wife halal?" Before diving deeper into the discussion, it's essential to understand this concept, as it is the foundation of the topic.
How Long Can a Husband and Wife Live Separately in Islam?
The discussion on whether the breast milk of a wife is halal is the same as asking whether the breast milk of any woman is halal. It is essential to understand this before we move on.
If we refer to Islamic sources, particularly the Quran, we find an explanation that a woman's breast milk is indeed halal. We can find this in the following Quranic verse:
وَالْوٰلِدٰتُ يُرْضِعْنَ اَوْلَادَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ لِمَنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ يُّتِمَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ ۗ وَعَلَى الْمَوْلُوْدِ لَهٗ رِزْقُهُنَّ وَكِسْوَتُهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِۗ لَا تُكَلَّفُ نَفْسٌ اِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَا تُضَاۤرَّ وَالِدَةٌ ۢبِوَلَدِهَا وَلَا مَوْلُوْدٌ لَّهٗ بِوَلَدِهٖ وَعَلَى الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذٰلِكَ ۚ فَاِنْ اَرَادَا فِصَالًا عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِّنْهُمَا وَتَشَاوُرٍ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا ۗوَاِنْ اَرَدْتُّمْ اَنْ تَسْتَرْضِعُوْٓا اَوْلَادَكُمْ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ اِذَا سَلَّمْتُمْ مَّآ اٰتَيْتُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِۗ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ
Translation:
Mothers may breastfeed their children for two complete years for those who wish to complete the nursing period. The father is responsible for providing for the mother and her clothing, according to what is acceptable. No soul is burdened beyond its capacity. No mother should be harmed because of her child, nor should a child be harmed because of his or her parent. If both the parents agree on weaning after mutual consultation, there is no blame upon them. If you wish to have a wet nurse for your children, there is no blame upon you as long as you give the wet nurse payment according to what is acceptable. And fear Allah, and know that Allah is Seeing of what you do. (Al-Baqarah 2:233)
Can Husband and Wife Bath Together in Islam?
The Quranic verse clearly indicates that breastfeeding for up to two years is permissible and lawful. Therefore, we can conclude that the milk of a wife (or any woman) is halal.
In conclusion, the breast milk of a wife is halal.
Can Husband Drink Breast Milk of Wife in Islam?
The second important aspect is: "Can a husband drink the breast milk of his wife in Islam?"
This is a critical question that requires a clear understanding, as it is not always well-understood by some Muslims. So, let's break it down:
It is permissible for a husband to drink his wife's breast milk. Islam does not prohibit a wife from breastfeeding her husband, although it is not something that is commonly encouraged either. Some Muslim couples believe that doing so may strengthen their bond.
How to Please Your Husband in Islam
However, let's address the main question directly: Does Islam allow a husband to drink his wife's breast milk?
The answer is yes, it is allowed.
Now, you might be wondering: "Will the husband become a mahram (a person with whom marriage is permanently prohibited) if he drinks his wife's breast milk?"
We find an important explanation about this matter in the following hadith:
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا يُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ إِلَّا مَا فَتَقَ الْأَمْعَاءَ فِيْ الثَّدْيِ وَ كَانَ قَبْلَ الْفِطَامِ
Translation:
From Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, 'Breastfeeding will not make a person a Mahram unless the milk has entered the intestine and it occurred before weaning.'"
Can Husband and Wife Bathe Together in Ramadan?
This hadith clarifies that breastfeeding a husband will not make him a mahram for his wife. Therefore, even if a husband drinks his wife's breast milk, it does not alter their relationship, and he does not become a mahram.
Conclusion
To summarize, the husband can drink the breast milk of his wife in Islam, and it will not make him a mahram for her.
