Narrated Aisha”
(regarding) the Verse: ‘And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans…’
(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 relation –
ship which renders marriage unlawful.
