Question 1488

I understand that a child becomes "related" to a woman when he nurses from her. Does he also become related if he receives her breastmillk in a bottle ?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.



Yes, the rules of Radaa' still apply, so long as the child drinks the equivalent of the well-known five breast feedings within the first two years of life.
