Sahih Muslim 1447a (Book 17, Hadith 16) #10720
Unlawfulness of Marrying Foster Siblings

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) refused to marry the daughter of his foster brother, as it is unlawful due to fosterage.

Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported: It was proposed that he (the Holy Prophet) be married to the daughter of Hamza, whereupon he said: She is not lawful for me for she is the daughter of my foster-brother, and that is unlawful by reason of fosterage what is unlawful by reason of genealogy.
وَحَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ، عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ أُرِيدَ عَلَى ابْنَةِ حَمْزَةَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّهَا لاَ تَحِلُّ لِي إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَيَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّحِمِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect for family relationships, following Islamic teachings on marriage laws .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the Islamic ruling on marriage between foster siblings. According to this hadith, it is not permissible for a person to marry their foster sibling, even if they are not related by blood. This is because Islam considers the bond between a child and their foster parents as strong and sacred as that of biological parents. Therefore, any relationship between two people who have been raised in the same family would be considered unlawful according to Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad's refusal to marry his foster brother's daughter serves as an example for us all in following these teachings and respecting our relationships with our families regardless of whether they are related by blood or not.
