Question: Please
tell me how swallowing the wife’s milk compares to the breast feeding of
an infant. Does not a lady who feeds someone become the mother of that
person?
Answer: Foster
mother in Islam is the name given to a lady who feeds her milk to someone
else’s infant with the intention and purpose of sustaining and nourishing
the infant. Without this purpose and intention, no one becomes her foster
child, if for some reason her milk is swallowed.
This of course is not the case with
the husband. So the two are totally different.
