If a daughter is adopted by a couple as a baby and the child is breast fead by her adopted mother, when the girl matures - does she have to wear Hijab infront of her adopted father or not? Please answer according to Hanafi fiqh.
Answer :
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh The husband of the woman who breastfed the adopted child will become that child’s foster father. It will never become permissible for that child to marry him and he will become her Mahram. Thus, she will not have to adopt hijāb in front of him. If there is a fear of fitnah, then it would be preferable for her to don the Hijāb in front of him as well. ( والكل رضاعا ) أي يحرم عليه جميع من تقدم ذكره من الرضاع وهن أمه وبنته وأخته وبنات إخوته وعمته وخالته وأم امرأته وبنتها وامرأة أبيه وامرأة ابنه كل ذلك يحرم من الرضاع كما يحرم من النسب لقوله تعالى { وأمهاتكم اللاتي أرضعنكم وأخواتكم من الرضاعة } ولقوله عليه الصلاة والسلام { يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب } (تبيين الحقائق ج 2 ص 463 ، العلمية) And Allah knows best Wassalam Ml.
