Sahih Muslim 1444a (Book 17, Hadith 1) #10705
The Effects of Fosterage

SUMMARY: Fosterage has the same effect as consanguinity in terms of making something unlawful.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported tha Allah's Messenger was with her and she heard the voice of a person seeking permission to enter the house of Hafsa'.A'isha (Allah he pleased with her) said: Allah's Messenger, he is the person who seeks permission to enter your house, whereupon Allah's Messenger said: I think he is so and so (uncle of Hafsa by reason of fosterage)'.A'isha said: Messenger of Allah, if so and so (her uncle by reason of fosterage) were alive, could he enter my house? Allah's Messenger said: Yes. Fosterage makes unlawful what consanguinity makes unlawful.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ عِنْدَهَا وَإِنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ صَوْتَ رَجُلٍ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فِي بَيْتِ حَفْصَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا رَجُلٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُ فِي بَيْتِكَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أُرَاهُ فُلاَنًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ لِعَمِّ حَفْصَةَ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ فُلاَنٌ حَيًّا - لِعَمِّهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ - دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ إِنَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا تُحَرِّمُ الْوِلاَدَةُ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, 'A'isha was asking a question to the Prophet Muhammad about whether or not her uncle by reason of fosterage could enter her house if he were alive. The Prophet Muhammad answered that fosterage has the same effect as consanguinity in terms of making something unlawful. This means that if someone is related to you through foster care, they are considered family and have the same rights and responsibilities as those related by blood. This hadith teaches us that we should treat our family members who are related through foster care with respect and kindness just like we would treat those who are related to us by blood.
