Commentary
‘Ar-razaa-‘ati – (foster relatives), it aims the woman, who
is not real mother, but who suckles any other child. Real children of that
woman are called foster-brothers and foster-sisters of that child, and such
woman is called his/her foster-mother.
Allah Almighty had described
unlawfulness of marriage with the step-mother in the previous verses. Now those
other women are being mentioned here, with whom the marriage is prohibited.
This detail is very clear, so there is no form of dissension or
misunderstanding now.
These women belong to some
different kinds. At first those, who are unlawful due to genealogical relationship
and they are seven – 1. Mother, 2. Daughter, 3. Sister,
4. Paternal Aunt, 5. Maternal Aunt, 6. Brother’s
Daughter (Niece), 7. Sister’s Daughter (Niece). None is permitted to
marry any one out of these seven close relatives.
As paternal and maternal
grandmothers (and upwards) are included in the prohibition order of marriage
with the mother, likewise, grand-daughters (daughter of the son and daughter of
the daughter and downwards) are also included in the prohibition order of
marriage with the daughter. Marriage with the sisters, ‘ainii (sisters, who have same
father and mother), ‘alaatii (sisters
due to father only) and ‘akhyaafii (sisters by the same mother but by a different
father) is also prohibited including father’s and mother’s sisters,
grandfather’s and grandmother’s (and their upwards) sisters. Real and
step-sisters of above all are included. In addition, the nieces, (daughters of
all above kinds of brothers and sisters, and their downwards) come also in this
category.
Besides genealogical forbidden
relatives, there are some foster relatives too, prohibited to be married. These
are two – mother and sister, and seven others, which have been described above
in the genealogical relationship {Mother, Daughter, Sister, Paternal Aunt,
Maternal Aunt, Brother’s Daughter (Niece), Sister’s Daughter (Niece)}. These
are also unlawful to be married in the fostering relationship. That is to say;
foster-daughter, foster-aunt (either paternal or maternal), foster-niece
(either paternal or maternal), all are unlawful to be married. These details
and likewise other orders in this connection exist in the ‘Ahaadith (Sayings of
Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace of Allah Almighty be
upon him) with explanation.
