Be mindful and aware of our relationships so we know what is permissible according to Islamic law .

This hadith is about the importance of being careful when considering someone as a brother through breast-feeding, as it can make marriage prohibited. It was narrated by Masruq and Aishah that the Prophet Muhammad entered upon Aishah while she was sitting with another man. The Prophet became angry at this, but Aishah explained that he was her brother through breast-feeding. In response to this, the Prophet said “Be careful who you count as your brothers for the breast-feeding which makes marriage prohibited is from hunger”. This hadith teaches us to be mindful of our relationships and to be aware of how they may affect our lives in terms of what we are allowed or not allowed to do according to Islamic law. We should also remember that even if someone is related to us through breastfeeding, they may still not be considered a true relative in terms of Islamic law and thus should not be treated like one in certain situations such as marriage or inheritance rights.
