ARABIC 1 BREASTFEEDING AND ITS PROVISIONS IN THE LIGHT OF SHARIA & IN THE LAWS OF AFGHANISTAN

الرضاع وأحكامه في ضوء الشريعة الإسلامية والقوانيين النافذة في أفغانستان

Abstract

Allah Ta’ala has declared Nikah with some women Haram due to His specific wisdom. Some of those women cannot be taken in Nikah for some time while others can never be wedded to some men forever. The ones who can never be taken in Nikah are the foster siblings. Allah Ta’ala has declared Nikah permanently Haram with them. Fostering (Radha’a) means when a child drinks the milk of a woman at specific age then that woman becomes its foster mother and her kids its foster siblings. Due to Radha’a, eight types of women become Haram for being taken in Nikah; four of them due to parentage and four because of affinity. Islamic countries have adopted provisions of Radha’a in their legal systems. They have taken the suggestions of the Majority of Scholars. This study is going to discuss them in detail.
