This hadith discusses a situation in which a man drank milk from his wife’s breasts. Abu Musa al-Ashari gave an opinion that this would make her haram for him. However, Abdullah ibn Masud disagreed with this opinion and said that there is only kinship by suckling in the first two years. Abu Musa then acknowledged that he should not give opinions while such learned men were present among them. This hadith teaches us to be humble when it comes to giving opinions on matters we are not knowledgeable about and to seek knowledge before making decisions or giving advice on matters we are unsure about. It also teaches us that breastfeeding can create kinship between two people if it occurs within the first two years after birth.
