Sahih al-Bukhari 4894 (Book 67, Hadith 36)
(4.3) It is about the orphan girl who is in the custody of a man who is her guardian, and he intends to
marry her because of her wealth, but he treats her badly and does not manage her property fairly and
honestly. Such a man should marry women of his liking other than her, two or three or four.
‘Prohibited to you (for marriage) are: …your foster-mothers (who suckled you).’ (4.23) Marriage is
prohibited between persons having a foster suckling relationship corresponding to a blood relationship
which renders marriage unlawful.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4894 (Book 67, Hadith 36)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
