Sunan an-Nasai 3286 (Book 26, Hadith 91) #17898
Prohibiting Marriage with Breast-Fed Relatives

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked about marrying Durrah bint Abi Salamah, and he replied that it would not be permissible for him to marry her even if he was not married to Umm Salamah, as her father is his brother through breast-feeding.

It was narrated from 'Irak bin Malik that Zainab bint Abi Salamah told him, that Umm Habibah said to the Messenger of Allah: "We have been saying that you want to marry Durrah bint Abi Salamah". The Messenger of Allah said: "As a co-wife to Umm Salamah? Even if I were not married to Umm Salamah, she would not be permissible to me, for her father is my brother through breast-feeding".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَدْ تَحَدَّثْنَا أَنَّكَ نَاكِحٌ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَعَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ لَوْ أَنِّي لَمْ أَنْكِحْ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ مَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّ أَبَاهَا أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the Islamic ruling on marriage between relatives who are related through breast-feeding. In Islam, it is prohibited for a man to marry a woman whose father has been breastfed by the same wet nurse as him. This prohibition applies even if the man is already married to another woman who is related to the woman in question through breastfeeding. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made this clear when Umm Habibah asked him about marrying Durrah bint Abi Salamah, and he replied that it would not be permissible for him to do so even if he was not married to Umm Salamah, as her father is his brother through breast-feeding. This hadith teaches us that we should respect our relatives and refrain from engaging in any activities which may harm them or cause them distress. It also reminds us of the importance of maintaining strong family ties and avoiding any actions which may lead to disharmony within our families or communities.
