[0:10]respected brothers and sisters and welcome to our third session of islamic

[0:21]family law during the last two sessions we spoke about the ways

[0:25]in which someone as your mahram becomes your mahram we said that

[0:31]the first way is through blood relationships the second way is through

[0:36]marriage and the third way is through cycling through breastfeeding and we

[0:42]spoke about breastfeeding and how that makes someone a mahram last week

[0:47]we said if a mother breastfeeds a child an unrelated child then

[0:52]that child becomes like her son her husband becomes like the father

[0:59]her children become like the siblings of that child meaning they all

[1:03]become mahram the opposite genders and we spoke about that last week

[1:09]this week in sha allah we'll go over the conditions because when

[1:12]we say if a woman breastfeeds another child then that child becomes

[1:19]her machram there are certain conditions that must be met in order

[1:24]for the child to become mahram so if she just took a

[1:28]child and she breastfed him once that's not enough there are certain

[1:31]conditions that must be met how many conditions are there there are

[1:36]four conditions these four conditions must be met in order for the

[1:43]child to become the new family member through suckling what are the

[1:49]four conditions condition number one is that the milk that the mother

[1:57]breastfeeds the child must be from a legitimate must be from the

[2:03]birth of a legitimate child so there has to be a child

[2:09]along with the milk and the child must be born through a

[2:12]legitimate marriage meaning if the lady had committed fornication then no matter

[2:23]how many times she breastfeeds that will do nothing if the milk

[2:29]is through zinna no no good another point if there was no

[2:35]child she's married she's married but there's no child meaning randomly she

[2:41]just sees that she has milk one day she never gave birth

[2:45]can she use that milk to have a mahram child through suckling

[2:52]no so there are two important points number one there has to

[2:56]be marriage has to be through halal marriage and number two there

[3:00]has to be a child if these two are met this is

[3:06]condition number one now scholars state even if the lady is divorced

[3:10]so let's say she's married she's then pregnant and then once she's

[3:16]pregnant the husband divorces her so after the child is born she

[3:20]has milk does that milk work yes because the two are met

[3:24]this milk is from a legitimate marriage even though she's she's divorced

[3:29]now but it was a legitimate marriage and there's a child so

[3:34]divorce does nothing if the husband dies or divorces her that does

[3:37]not change the situation now where do we get this from you

[3:42]see the hadith in front of you sahih the imam said if

[4:12]your wife breastfeeds a child with your milk meaning the milk that's

[4:17]from your me from your marriage with her and your child's milk

[4:22]then he became becomes haram meaning so the imam mentions these two

[4:28]two words number one he says your wife so where do we

[4:32]get that first condition we said it has to be through legitimate

[4:35]marriage because the imam said your wife so if there's no wife

[4:38]no marriage no good and number two the second word the imam

[4:46]said your child's milk that means there has to be a child

[4:48]if it was just random milk that the mother that the wife

[4:53]sees this is no good so this is all condition number one

[5:00]these two things we understand from this hadith condition number two the

[5:08]child must suckle directly from the breast of the woman meaning if

[5:17]the milk is extracted and placed in a bottle and then the

[5:22]child drinks is that good no scholars stay this is no good

[5:28]that child even if he drinks a hundred bottles will never become

[5:32]the son the suckling son of this mother he will never become

[5:39]has to be directly from the breast now why do scholars say

[5:45]that they say because the hadith all say means suckle to breastfeed

[5:50]and the word to breastfeed to suckle it means to feed directly

[5:57]from the breast because if you take the milk extract it and

[5:59]place it in a bottle this is not breastfeeding this is bottle

[6:06]feeding the milk is from the mother but this is not this

[6:10]act when she's when the child is drinking from the bottle it's

[6:12]not called breastfeeding this is called bottle feeding so the act has

[6:17]to be called breastfeeding this is what the imams mentioned this is

[6:20]what the quran mentioned so it can only be considered as if

[6:25]it's direct suckling from the breast of the nursing mother so this

[6:35]is condition number two condition number three the child's age the child

[6:48]has to be under two years old under 24 months old so

[6:55]if he is older than that then there is no more opportunity

[6:58]there is it's not possible to make a mahram anymore from the

[7:03]day he's born until he's two years old you have two years

[7:07]in order for that child to become maharam of the nursing mother

[7:11]where do we get that from the holy quran you see the

[7:16]verse chapter 2 verse 233 allah says and the mothers should suckle

[7:29]their children for two whole years for whoever desires to complete the

[7:35]time of suckling now some scholars have said what this verse is

[7:39]saying is this that it is mustahab for the mother to breastfeed

[7:43]her child for two years let the mothers breastfeed their children for

[7:49]two full years it's mustahab and that that's why the quran says

[7:54]for those that want to complete the full suckling period but other

[7:59]scholars have said have said no what this verse is speaking this

[8:06]first is speaking about exactly what we are discussing now in order

[8:11]for a child to become a son through nursing the akam of

[8:16]through suckling the quran says you have two ears and the mothers

[8:19]should meaning they can suckle their their children which mothers not the

[8:25]biological mothers this is speaking about the nursing mothers so if a

[8:29]nursing mother she has the opportunity and the chance to suckle the

[8:33]child and he becomes during these two years so this is in

[8:38]the quran and likewise we have many clear hadith from the imams

[8:41]that speak about this like a hadith from imam ali where he

[8:44]says after the weaning period which is after two years meaning suckling

[8:51]breastfeeding will not make a child mahram anymore now this masala this

[8:59]ruling there is consensus between all the muslims upon this ruling that

[9:03]the child has to be under two years old no one no

[9:08]one went against this consensus except one individual who is that individual

[9:18]aisha the wife of rasulullah she is the only one that is

[9:26]known to believe that the child doesn't have to be under two

[9:31]years no he can be any age so thus if a nursing

[9:36]mother suckles a child that's four years old he becomes her mother

[9:38]seven years old becomes her mahram 10 years old becomes 15 years

[9:43]old becomes her mahram 20 years old an adult she even believed

[9:48]that if a nursing mother suckles an adult she breastfeeds an adult

[9:57]he becomes maharam and in fact there is an entire chapter in

[10:02]sahih muslim the chapter of the suckling of adults we know suckling

[10:13]is for children right breastfeeding is for children he has an entire

[10:16]chapter called breastfeeding of the adults and what is it all about

[10:22]it's about the hadith of where she believes that the prophet said

[10:26]that you can also a nursing mother could breastfeed an adult an

[10:32]old man for god's sake and he becomes her son and there's

[10:38]probably i don't know maybe up to 10 ahadith and muslim that

[10:45]i'll show you let's speak about this but before we go to

[10:48]the hadith just think about it does this make sense if a

[10:54]16 17 year old young man how how is he even able

[11:01]to see that lady when she's not his mahram yet how is

[11:05]he able to touch her place her lips on her this is

[11:08]haram yes after you know probably a couple of days of breastfeeding

[11:11]she becomes mahram right we'll get to the time what's the condition

[11:14]of the time so let's say it's at least 24 hours so

[11:16]during those 24 hours how and what pretext and you know how

[11:22]is he touching that lady this is haram so this doesn't make

[11:28]sense we tell you know a young adult that this lady who's

[11:30]unrelated to she's not your mahram you can go touch her and

[11:34]place your lips on her breasts and this is halal and then

[11:36]after a day or two she be she becomes your mahram so

[11:39]what about during that day what if he suckles two three times

[11:44]and he stops and let's let's say we said you have to

[11:46]suckle 15 times in order for the child to become what if

[11:49]the child what if that young man suckles seven times eight and

[11:54]then stops is that halal or is that haram so it doesn't

[11:57]make sense obviously breastfeeding is for babies so it doesn't make sense

[12:02]to say yeah even you can breastfeed old individuals adults and they

[12:08]will become like your children this is the hadith you can see

[12:12]in front of you of course was what this hadith is saying

[12:35]this we don't narrate this of course this is muslim we don't

[12:38]narrate this the school of thought of does not accept this hadith

[12:41]but muslims do unfortunately so the stories aisha says that there was

[12:47]a man by the name of abu hudaifah he was a companion

[12:52]of rasulullah abu hadifa had adopted a son he was young his

[12:56]name was silent eventually asylum grew once asylum became mature now he

[13:02]can no longer see his mother you know his mother that adopted

[13:07]him the wife of abu hadife because we'll get to this if

[13:10]you adopt a child the child doesn't become because remember we said

[13:15]there's only three ways to become your biological mother through marriage and

[13:19]through nursing adoption isn't one of them so if a lady goes

[13:22]and adopts a child once the child grows and becomes mature she

[13:27]has to wear hijab from that child so this is what happened

[13:30]to the wife of abu hadifa her name was so now all

[13:35]of a sudden he's like her her child for 10 years now

[13:39]she has to work hijab the whole time and he's not used

[13:42]to it because salah is like his mother so he would come

[13:46]enter and leave without saying allah so it was creating some problems

[13:49]she was uncomfortable abu hadifa was uncomfortable they had a big problem

[13:57]so sahla came to rasulullah according to aisha and she started to

[14:01]complain ya rasulallah what do we do we have this situation he's

[14:05]like my son but but he can't see me how do we

[14:09]continue living you know what the prophet said according to sahih muslim

[14:13]according to allah he was mature he was probably 15 16 years

[14:22]old so when she heard that she said now probably it seems

[14:29]like vesa vesandhichi had a child she had milk so she told

[14:35]rasulullah rasulullah what do you mean breastfeed him so even she understood

[14:37]that this doesn't make sense he's a he's a man he's 15

[14:42]16.

[14:42]what do you mean that's that's so inappropriate for me to uncover

[14:48]my breast and breast feed him so the prophet told her according

[14:53]to aisha he smiled he smiled and he says yes i know

[15:01]i know go and breastfeed him so she went and she breastfed

[15:05]her adopted son and she and he became to her so this

[15:11]is narrated in muslim now of course we believe the story never

[15:14]happened it's impossible for rasulullah to ever suggest that and this is

[15:18]a very inappropriate and indecent act but anyway and that's why in

[15:25]muslim sahih muslim he narrates that um was another one of the

[15:34]wives of the prophet she used to object to she used to

[15:37]see all these random young men going in the house of aisha

[15:41]as if they're related without her wearing hijab so almost would be

[15:49]very would be very very frustrated and she would come and object

[15:52]to aisha why are you letting all these young men into your

[15:56]heart they're not related to you they're not your mahram and sahih

[16:00]muslim says that responded and she told them no this is the

[16:04]sunnah of rasulullah this is the tradition of rasulullah and then she

[16:08]told her the story of abu hadife that i mentioned so she

[16:11]said rasulullah said it's okay so that's this is exactly what i

[16:16]do what did aisha do we find her nephew you can see

[16:22]the hadith in front of you he was the nephew of asha

[16:26]he says this is what isha would do he says and see

[16:50]her become maharam now she didn't have milk because rasulullah had died

[16:53]no baby right remember we said there has to be a baby

[16:55]the milk of that baby so what did she do she couldn't

[16:59]breastfeed those young men she would tell her sisters that had a

[17:02]child or her nieces that had a child she would tell them

[17:10]to do that why because she would become the aunt remember the

[17:13]ant through suckling so her sister with what what's let's go suckle

[17:20]that young man and she becomes what she becomes the ant or

[17:24]her nephew or her niece her niece would suckle and she is

[17:28]the aunt of the mother which is also and then zubair he's

[17:33]the nephew he says my aunt i shall would do that and

[17:37]i would see young men go and enter to see asha and

[17:39]this is why umbject and subhanallah and i'll get to this and

[17:46]aisha would believe that only five times was enough so she would

[17:52]tell her sisters and her nieces just suckle that young man five

[17:55]times breastfeed him and he becomes maharam we'll get to the number

[17:58]how many times are enough so this is something that happened in

[18:01]history but you see that the ulama of all all the muslims

[18:06]when they came they did not accept this hadith they said we

[18:10]don't know why rasulullah ordered abu the wife of abu hadifa to

[18:16]but the point is this isn't a general law that we can

[18:20]learn from them emulate so they all agree all the ulama even

[18:23]of the sunnah all the ulama they agree that it has to

[18:29]be two years criteria number four the last condition in order for

[18:33]the child to become maharam is the duration how long does the

[18:37]mother the nursing mother have to nurse until the child becomes here

[18:41]the hadith give us three criterias brothers and sisters the first criteria

[18:47]that is mentioned in the hadith is a physical criteria the imams

[18:55]mention a physical criteria in the child itself what is that physical

[18:57]criteria the imams mention that the mother has to suckle the child

[19:02]until the child's flesh develops and his bones strengthen where is this

[19:10]mentioned in this hadith when does a child become through that cycling

[19:19]the imam answered means what develops the flesh and strengthens the bone

[19:30]now how long does that take imam just put it through a

[19:36]physical sign whenever you can tell that his bones have strengthened with

[19:40]my milk his flesh has developed with my milk then you know

[19:45]he's become but how long does that take how many hours how

[19:48]many days how many times she has to suckle the imam didn't

[19:52]mention through this first sign so this is the first criteria the

[19:58]second criteria the imams mentioned a duration in some hadith they gave

[20:02]us a time frame what's the time frame the imam is mentioned

[20:07]at least 24 hours the child has to suckle for at least

[20:11]24 hours this is mentioned the imam said day and night which

[20:24]is 24 hours so the nursing mother has to suckle the child

[20:27]for 24 hours the child cannot eat anything else during these 24

[20:33]hours if the child had something else to eat you have to

[20:36]start over now you have to start once again a new 24

[20:38]hours so this is the second criteria that has been mentioned and

[20:47]finally there's a third criteria that has been mentioned by the imams

[20:50]of ahmedabad that third criteria is then a number they even specified

[20:59]the imams how many times does a mother has has to have

[21:04]to suckle in order for the child to become maharan now there

[21:07]are two sets of ahadith here there is one set of ahadith

[21:13]that mentioned at least 10 times the mother has to suckle her

[21:19]child at least 10 times and most of our early meaning 600

[21:26]700 800 1 000 years ago most of the ulama believed that

[21:28]this is the correct number according to the hadith 10 the mother

[21:34]has to suckle 10 times and from our contemporary ulama believes in

[21:38]this that he says 10 is enough where is this taken from

[21:45]there's a bunch of a hadith but this is one of them

[21:53]the narrator he asked the imam he asked him how many times

[21:58]must a child suckle in order for him to become maharam then

[22:02]he himself he says is one enough the imam says no it's

[22:05]two enough imam says no is three enough until he reaches 10

[22:13]once he reaches 10 the imam says the imam says as long

[22:22]as they are what 10 consecutive suckling times ten consecutive instances then

[22:29]yes meaning if he suckles five times from this lady and then

[22:32]five times from that lady and then once again five times from

[22:35]the first lady that doesn't count so it has to be ten

[22:38]consecutive suckling instances so this is the first opinion and it's based

[22:49]on this hadith now just as a quick question something to bring

[22:54]to your attention when i mention the hadith i put them in

[22:56]front of you i always indicate if it's sahih or not because

[23:00]not all the hadith are reliable sahih means it's reliable sometimes i

[23:07]write muattapa sometimes i write sahih sometimes i write does anybody know

[23:13]what's the difference between sahih i don't know if any of you

[23:18]took the rajal course that was offered but if you take the

[23:23]rajal the science of the narrators it is explained what the difference

[23:27]is between a hadith and a sahih now they're both reliable the

[23:34]difference between sahih and warthip is a hadith that consists of narrators

[23:40]that are all number one trustworthy and number two all shia imam

[23:46]following the the twelve imams of hellbeit alain means that they are

[23:54]all trustworthy but at least one of them may not be shia

[23:57]he may have been for example a wakafi isma'ili he may have

[24:03]been a zaydi he have he may have been a sunni but

[24:06]trustworthy we have many narrators they were trustworthy never lied but sunni

[24:12]we accept their hadith we call this hadith it's still reliable because

[24:16]as long as the person is trustworthy we take his hadith he

[24:21]doesn't have to be a whether he prays or doesn't pray whether

[24:24]he for example has akedah is right or wrong this doesn't make

[24:30]a difference according to most scholars especially contemporary scholars as long as

[24:34]he doesn't lie he's an honest person we take as hadith but

[24:37]we call the hadith now why i'll get to that and because

[24:42]sometimes if there's two hadiths that conflict each other one is sahih

[24:46]one say that we give the priority because it's all because it

[24:53]has one degree of an element that the other one doesn't have

[24:57]so it has something good that the other one these are all

[25:00]you know followers of the imams while the others weren't so even

[25:05]though we'd accept all of them but anytime there's a conflict contradiction

[25:08]that i'll get to insha allah then some say we don't not

[25:11]all like you say the no he says they're the same it's

[25:17]just two terminologies just to tell you if this is all shia

[25:19]or not so anyway we said the third criteria is how many

[25:25]times the number so we have one group of a hadith that

[25:29]say the mother the nursing mother has to suckle at least 10

[25:34]times say believes in this and he has a hadith to prove

[25:38]this and then there's a second set of hadith let's say at

[25:45]least 15 times not 10.

[25:46]and this is mentioned also in imam he says 24 hours or

[26:07]15 at least 15.

[26:07]so based on this hadith ten is not enough so it has

[26:13]to be fifteen most of our contemporary scholars right now they believe

[26:17]in this excluding say that like say the sistani he says fifteen

[26:23]say that he says ten is enough each one is relying on

[26:26]one of the hadith one set of ahadith so here what do

[26:30]we have my dear brothers and sisters we have two groups of

[26:33]a hadith one group that says 10 at least 10.

[26:36]another group that says at least 15 can we take both of

[26:43]them no there's obviously a contradiction right there's a conflict between these

[26:47]two and the problem is they are all authentic hadith so we

[26:51]can't say let's see which one is the authentic which one is

[26:55]the weak they are all authentic what do we do here any

[26:58]time this happens scholars call this ta'arav meaning when two sets of

[27:08]hadiths they collide they conflict with each other they contradict each other

[27:11]we call this and at the same time they are all authentic

[27:16]and we have many many instances if you take the book of

[27:21]wasa elisha bihar you'll find many instances you have two groups of

[27:24]hadith or two hadith they're both authentic one from al-baqar one from

[27:29]assad or sometimes both from assad and one hadith imam says this

[27:33]is haram and the second hadith says this is halal same thing

[27:36]and they're both authentic hadith what do we call this they call

[27:40]this ta'arav where do we study ta'ara we study this in us

[27:46]the principles of jurisprudence i believe say muhammad taught the intro to

[27:55]us and it's available and one of the subjects that are taught

[27:57]is what do we do when we have ta'ala there are principles

[28:01]there are rules there are guidelines how you solve the ta'ar of

[28:04]meaning the conflict between two hadiths now you may ask how is

[28:16]that possible the imam assad contradicts himself al-imam al-sadah contradicts his father

[28:20]or his grandfather or imam al-qaeda contradicts how how can we have

[28:27]two authentic hadith yes if one of them is unreliable the others

[28:29]reliable yes we know that one of them is true but how

[28:33]can they both be authentic it is possible my dear brothers and

[28:37]sisters how because sometimes the imam may give the wrong fatwa because

[28:47]he has to he has no choice like what like sometimes the

[28:54]imam remember there were spies he was some some of the imams

[28:59]they did not have the full freedom to express their views and

[29:05]opinions because the opinion of the government had to be followed so

[29:10]if someone comes and asks a question and there are spies and

[29:14]the imam can't give the right answer he would give the opinion

[29:19]of the government because he was forced so did the imam really

[29:22]say that he said that but he did it out of taliyah

[29:28]or other times the imam he would do take not for him

[29:31]because of the narrator's sake because the imam knows this narrator his

[29:35]life would be threatened if people knew he was a shia so

[29:41]he would give him the sunni view to save his life so

[29:44]now fourteen hundred years later we have a hadith from imam al-baqarah

[29:47]where there was no takaya needed and then we have a hadith

[29:51]none of the narrators lied they said we heard imam sadiq say

[29:54]this why maybe he was doing and that's why one way listen

[30:01]carefully one principle that used to know which one was the true

[30:04]one i mean the imam said both of them but which one

[30:07]do we follow we can't follow both whichever goes against the ruling

[30:11]of the sunnis why you may say well wait this is too

[30:14]sectarian this is no no has nothing to do with our love

[30:17]or hatred towards sunnis it's only because that is a clue that

[30:21]shows us this may have been when there's two hadiths one of

[30:26]them is against the ruling of the sunnah they're both and one

[30:30]is one the first is against the ruling of the sunnis the

[30:34]second is exactly as the ruling of the sunnis we accept the

[30:38]first one the one that's against the ruling why because most likely

[30:41]the second one was done out of let me give you an

[30:46]example we have a hadith from the imam that state in when

[30:50]you reach your feet you have to wipe the quran also mentions

[30:55]that but it could be argued because it's not that crisp clear

[30:57]or allah mentions it so say we understand from the verse that

[31:01]you have to watch we say no so it's it's a it's

[31:06]a never-ending debate discussion but the hadith are crisp clear we have

[31:10]said of a hadith that are authentic that say you have to

[31:15]wipe then there's some other authentic because this is how the sunnis

[31:23]did it back then this is how the government did it and

[31:25]in fact there's a story that illustrates this some of you have

[31:31]heard it some of you have not so i'll mention it was

[31:34]a close companion of ali and he was also an advisor or

[31:39]a minister to harun abbasi the khalifa harun did not know alibaba

[31:52]the imam gave him authority to work in the government of but

[31:56]he undercover he did not expose the fact that he was a

[32:01]shia so ali sends a letter one day to alimony he tells

[32:08]him i was sitting with some of your companions and we were

[32:13]debating this do we wash do we why there's a disagreement what

[32:17]do we do the imam says he replies he writes a letter

[32:20]and he tells him he tells him i understand your question from

[32:24]now on you have to wash your feet he's surprised he says

[32:30]but wait a minute i thought it was to wipe but you

[32:34]know what the imam knows better the imam knows better so what

[32:40]does he starts to wash his feet anytime he does now why

[32:44]you see because at the same time that this story was happening

[32:49]haroon had some of his other advisors and ministers that knew that

[32:53]had discovered that like the state and it was the worst crime

[32:59]if you were to be accused of being your head would be

[33:03]chopped off so they came and they told him this advisor minister

[33:09]of yours he's a raphaeli kick him out his allegiance is not

[33:14]to you it's proven to him that someone in his government was

[33:19]a shia right away he'd kill him or he'd you know imprison

[33:22]him why because his loyalty would be not to him it would

[33:26]be telling him he knew he knows that so harun said would

[33:29]tell them no i've never seen any sign from him that shows

[33:32]he's a rafale he's a very loyal man to me he does

[33:35]everything i want so on and so forth so they kept on

[33:39]coming and telling and trying to you know trying to move haroon

[33:44]against him or turn him against him until one of the ministers

[33:49]he told him i know what to do let's spy on him

[33:52]when he's doing privately when he's private he thinks nobody's looking at

[33:56]him let's see if he wipes he's a shirt if he washes

[34:01]then he's not harun says fine they go and they're looking while

[34:05]that's happening and imam will call them subhanallah you see how his

[34:08]the imams they protect the lives of the shia he writes the

[34:13]letter to alibaba he tells him wash ali nathan thinks i don't

[34:17]you know this is the true law of power to allah but

[34:22]this is for so ali starts washing until he looks at the

[34:26]vu of ali he says no this guy is washing he's not

[34:29]a lawfully so he tells them you're all lying this is all

[34:33]what this is all personal animosity that you have in hatred and

[34:35]jealousy and envy he's not a lawfully so he wants and he

[34:40]promoted him because he saw he has so many enemies that hate

[34:44]him for nothing he promoted after the story finished the imam said

[34:48]a second letter he told adam nelton from now on start wiping

[34:52]now i gave you the context of these two letters imagine these

[34:58]two letters randomly we find them in a book 1400 years later

[35:02]twelve hundred years later without the context of alibaba and what we

[35:05]would say oh no we have two hadiths from imam kalam that

[35:08]are contradicting each other and one he says wash and one he

[35:12]says wipe what do we do did the imam lie no does

[35:14]the imam contradict himself no did the narrators lie no the imam

[35:17]said both of them but one of them was done out of

[35:20]how do we know we always choose the ruling that's against the

[35:25]the mainstream view of the sunni school of thought so this is

[35:30]one way where you may have to idle other times the narrator

[35:37]misunderstood the imam so the narrator for example here he he thought

[35:40]the imam said 10 but maybe the imam said something else so

[35:45]the narrators they are honest and trustworthy but they're not infallible and

[35:48]we have many instances where we found that you know the imams

[35:52]told us or we have hadith that showed us how some good

[35:56]good spirited good faith narrators they made mistakes for example someone comes

[36:02]to the imam and he says you know this other narrator he

[36:04]said that you said this yesterday but that doesn't make sense imam

[36:08]says no that's not what i said he misunderstood me so sometimes

[36:12]we may have a contradiction because the narrators misunderstand the imams now

[36:18]so what do we do when this happens like i said there's

[36:24]an entire discussion one principle is to go against the mainstream view

[36:29]of the sunnis another principle is to see which hadith conforms to

[36:35]the quran we can see which of these hadith is more in

[36:39]line with the verses of the quran another one is what which

[36:47]hadith or group of hadiths is more popular between the narrators for

[36:50]example we have two groups contradicting one group is narrated by one

[36:54]the other ten so which one do we choose which one do

[36:59]we give the priority to ten because it's possible that one guy

[37:02]made a mistake but ten individuals they all made mistakes so there

[37:06]are many rules and guidelines on how to solve these situation situations

[37:10]so based on that discussion of what the criteria is when we

[37:15]have to out of conflict between two authentic hadiths and based on

[37:18]how we apply that here because that's a different situ you know

[37:21]how do we apply those here uh first we have to know

[37:26]what the what the view of the sunni scholars is regarding suckling

[37:28]the child is it 10 is it 15 that's why i saw

[37:31]he says when we go back to the books of the sunnis

[37:35]we find they neither have the fatwa of 10 or 15 so

[37:37]can we use this can we use this rule here no because

[37:40]both of them are against the view of the sunnis most sunnis

[37:46]believe it's five so anyway so that's an entire different topic that

[37:51]i don't want to go too much into but depending on what

[37:53]each island believes in that discussion how he applies it he will

[37:59]either say 10 or 15.

[38:03]this is the two opinions of our scholars yes each one follows

[38:08]his merger each individual whatever your major says 10 has to be

[38:11]at least 10 15 at least 50.

[38:12]now of course if i ever wanted to my wife to suckle

[38:17]a child and become always do it the more the greater because

[38:19]you want to make sure that you're doing something that's exactly you

[38:25]want to make sure that based on all the rulings you've done

[38:28]what's right because this is a very important matter you know he

[38:32]can see so many ladies without hijab so don't do the minimum

[38:35]do the maximum so that you're sure and you're on the safe

[38:40]side so these are the four conditions and you have understood them

[38:47]now and finally once again we go to aisha sahih muslim hadith

[38:55]2726 he narrates aisha saying that there was a verse in the

[39:00]quran there was a verse in the quran that said 10 breastfeeding

[39:14]periods feed breastfeeding ten times makes the child so she claims that

[39:21]this was a verse in the quran it's not in the quran

[39:24]today and then she says and then that and then so she

[39:40]says that verse was abrogated by another verse meaning five is enough

[39:46]so allah said this is what says allah said in the quran

[39:49]that ten is enough and then allah said no five is enough

[39:52]fatiha rasool allah passed away this was a part of the quran

[39:59]what happened to it because if you open the quran that we

[40:03]have today it's not there i i have and and ahmed they

[40:10]narrate she tells us what happened to that verse she says she

[40:15]says that there was a verse in the quran of the rajim

[40:22]someone commits zina stone them this was in the quran that you

[40:25]can suckle an adult ten times and that verse it was written

[40:36]on a paper under my bed falafel preoccupied an animal a goat

[40:48]something like that chicken a goat came and ate that piece of

[40:53]paper and that paper was the only the only paper that had

[40:56]the verse written so that ayah was lost by a goat this

[41:01]is mentioned by sunan ibn maja and mesnat ahmed so i mentioned

[41:10]this because aisha claims that the quran mentioned ten times are enough

[41:15]and then it was abrogated five times the quran that we have

[41:19]now does not have any of that the quran we believe is

[41:22]untouched nothing was allah no goat ate anything out of it and

[41:25]even if a goat eats something there will be other copies of

[41:27]the quran that will be preserved and subhanallah how ironic it is

[41:33]that many times we are accused of believing in tahrir quran that

[41:36]the quran has been played with there's missing verses while they believe

[41:39]in it even if they don't believe in it it is mentioned

[41:42]in their hadith so maybe we also have a hadith but we

[41:46]have other interpretations for our hadith so they shouldn't attack when they

[41:51]have such hadith in their books with this we have finished our

[41:55]discussion regarding mahram through breastfeeding insha allah next week we will speak

[42:02]about the laws of hijab which parts of the body must a

[42:05]woman cover from a non-mushram from a mahram which parts of the

[42:09]body a man has to cover and so on and so forth
