The required amount to establish a foster relationship (<em>Radhaa\u2019at<\/em>) is that a child is breastfed to the extent that the milk is swallowed and reaches the stomach<strong> during the period of breastfeeding i.e. two lunar years.<\/strong> This may be achieved by breastfeeding the child with one or two feedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The child may suckle directly from the breast or the milk may be expressed and fed to the child. In both instances, the foster relationship (<em>Radhaa\u2019at<\/em>) will be established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the foster relationship is established, the child is considered as a foster son\/daughter\/brother\/sister and the relationship of Mahrams (non-strangers) is established between them. Accordingly, they can never marry each other and therefore, do not have to observe hijaab from each other on attaining buloogh (maturity). However, a foster child will not inherit from the foster parents but will inherit from their biological parents. <strong>(Hindiyyah 1\/342)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Allah Ta\u2019ala Knows Best<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mufti Ismaeel Bassa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>themufti.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The minimum requirement to establish a foster relationship Q.
