The Significance of Foster Suckling Relations

SUMMARY: Foster suckling relations render all those things illegal which are illegal because of the corresponding blood relations.

Narrated 'Aisha: Allah, the brother of Abu Al-Qu'ais asked my permission to enter after the verses of Al-Hijab (veiling the ladies) was revealed, and I said, "By Allah, I will not admit him unless I take permission of Allah's Apostle for it was not the brother of Al-Qu'ais who had suckled me, but it was the wife of Al-Qu'ais, who had suckled me". Then Allah's Messenger entered upon me, and I said, "O Allah's Messenger ! The man has not nursed me but his wife has nursed me". He said, "Admit him because he is your uncle (not from blood relation, but because you have been nursed by his wife), Taribat Yaminuki"'.Urwa said, "Because of this reason, ' Aisha used to say: Foster suckling relations render all those things (marriages etc) illegal which are illegal because of the corresponding blood relations".
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَفْلَحَ أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَىَّ بَعْدَ مَا نَزَلَ الْحِجَابُ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لاَ آذَنُ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَخَا أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ لَيْسَ هُوَ أَرْضَعَنِي، وَلَكِنْ أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي الْقُعَيْسِ‏.‏ فَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ هُوَ أَرْضَعَنِي، وَلَكِنْ أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَتُهُ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ ائْذَنِي لَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ، تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَبِذَلِكَ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ حَرِّمُوا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ النَّسَبِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the significance of foster suckling relations. It was narrated by 'Aisha and 'Urwa that a man asked for permission to enter after the verses of Al-Hijab were revealed. Aisha said she would not admit him unless she took permission from Allah's Messenger first as it was not the brother of Al-Qu'ais who had suckled her but his wife. Allah's Messenger then entered and said that Aisha should admit him as he is her uncle due to foster suckling relation. This means that all those things which are illegal because of corresponding blood relations are also rendered illegal due to foster suckling relation.
