Based on the provided reference, Islam allows a husband to drink his wife's breast milk during pregnancy or otherwise.
According to Islamic scholarly opinions, drinking breast milk between spouses does not establish a prohibited mother-son relationship, which is typically a concern associated with breastfeeding certain individuals in infancy.
Yes, according to the reference provided, it is permissible for a husband to drink his wife's breast milk in Islam.
The primary concern often raised regarding the consumption of breast milk by an adult is whether it creates a prohibited relationship (like mother and son) which would impact marital validity or other familial rulings. However, Islamic teachings clarify that this is not the case between spouses.
Key Points from the Reference:
- No Prohibited Relationship: The reference explicitly states, "On this basis, if it happened that someone breastfed from his wife or drank her milk, he does not become her son because of that.. (Fataawa Islamiyah, 3/338)." This confirms that drinking a wife's milk does not make the husband her son in the eyes of Islamic law.
- General Permissibility: The reference concludes by stating, "Conclusively, all these and more evidences shows that Islam allows a man to enjoy his wife's milk." This indicates a general allowance for a husband to consume his wife's milk without it being considered forbidden.
While the reference doesn't specifically mention the state of pregnancy, its general allowance for a man to enjoy his wife's milk, coupled with the clarification that it does not create a prohibited relationship, suggests that the timing (such as during pregnancy) does not alter the permissibility. The core issue addressed is the potential creation of a prohibited familial link, which is negated by the reference.
In summary: The reference provided supports the view that a husband drinking his wife's breast milk is allowed in Islam and does not result in the establishment of a mother-son relationship between them.
