Adult Breast Feeding

 

Let's first see the Sahih Muslim 1453a hadith about breast feeding adults in Islam.

Here Allah's apostle allowing (moreover commanding) Sahla to suckle the ally of her husband Abu Hudhaifa who is a grownup man who is young.

Check the Sahih hadees Sunan an-nasai 3319 which states that Salim has beard, from this we are clear that Salim in not a child.

These hadees may not be enough for some, because they may say even though he has beard he may not know about sexual things, for them read the hadith Sahih Muslim 1453b. It clearly mentions that Salim has attained puberty and he understands what others understand as a man, meaning sexual things.

I will show one more hadith about this situation that happened 1400 years ago. Check Sahih hadees Sunan an-nasai 3323. 

From this hadith it is clear that Sahla has breast feeded Salim. And we could undertand that it had happened in private, else it wouldn't be written like "she came back to him and said: 'I breast fed him...

If it's done in private, then it should be DINGA LALAA... 😆

Did you note another thing here, the husband of Sahla was unhappy when Salim enters their house, thereafter Allah's apostle told her to breast feed him. After doing that, the displeasure of Abu Hudhaifah has disappeared. What kind of a husband feels like that? Only companions of Muhammad.

Now let's check the interesting part of this situation, do you know how many times did Sahla breast fed Salim?

It is 5 times. 

Yeah, read the Sahih hadees Abi- Dawud 2061

Do you see that after breast feeding the young beard adult person Salim, he became the foster son of Sahla.

And now Aisha, the child wife of Muhammad who he consumated the marriage with her at her age of nine (according to Sahih Sunan an-Nasa'i 3378); has done something amazing...

She (Aisha) used to ask the daughters of her sisters and brethrens to breast feed five times whoever who wish to visit them. And we can see that Aisha used to do this (breast feeding) adults who visited her and who she wanted to visit her. I will show other hadiths that Aisha has done this; before that let us discuss something Muslims conceal.

Some Muslims claim that the breast feeding is not done directly from the breast to the mouth of the adult but a glass or spoon is used for this purpose. But did you read this sentence in that hadith.

But Umm Salamah and all other wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) refused to allow anyone to visit them on the basis of such breast feeding unless one was given breast feed during infancy.

Umm Salamah and all other wives of Allah's apostle doesn't like this act. And they simply believe that Allah's apostle may have allowed it only for Salim.

They say that such kind of visiting only allowed, if that person had breast feeding during infancy. They understood that breast feeding directly from a breast should only be given to kids and not adults. That's why they hesitate to do this disgusting thing that Aisha recommended and what she has been doing this with others.

Did you notice that Muhammad telling Sahla to suckle at an instance only, but in that Sahih hadith it says she breast feed him five times. Why?

Because there is a Quran verse for that which is not present in today's Quran. Let's check that in a moment. before that Allah's apostle has mentioned that "Suckling once or twice does not make (marriage) unlawful."  Sunan Ibn Majah 1941 also mentioned in Sahih Muslim 1451c

From this hadith we can understood that breast feeding should not be done for a single time but multiple time to make marriage unlawful.

Imagine if some strange person needs to enter your house, your wife or daughter or even mother may need to breast feed him five times. What a disgusting act.

In another hadith Sahih Muslim 1452a, it says that Allah is the one who allows adult breast feeding 10 times which was abrogated and was replaced by five sucklings.

And this Sahih hadith says that Muslims used to recite a Quran which contains breast feeding of adults five times.

So how is this Quranic verse is not present in today's Quran? Because the Quranic verse got eaten by a simple goat, not even Allah couldn't preserve these ayah's from Quran. Read Hasan hadith Sunan Ibn Majah 1944 and this hadith is classified as Sahih by Ibn Hazm (classical scholar | fatwa 12905) but it is classified as Hasan by al-Albani.

One may argue that the two verses mentioned above were abrogated later by Allah. But where is that? If Allah is the one who abrogated that verses through his words, where is his words about that in Quran? Can anyone skip writing the abrogated verses from Quran? If it's possible why are there so much of abrogated verses that we can see in Quran today.

Eventhough Muhammad is the one who allows this breast feeding for adults, this backfires him when Aisha started to see strange people and make them foster brothers by this disgusting suckling relationship.

Read Sahih al-Bukhari 5102, the Allah's apostle is seeing a man sitting with Aisha, and she says he is her foster brother through suckling relationship. Now Muhammad's expression shows that he does not want her child wife's breast to be fed to others.

Once again I will show the Sahih hadith Sunan Abi-Dawud 2061, from this it is clear that Aisha used to breast feed five times whom she wanted to see and who wanted to visit her. She also encourages other women to do the same.

See Aisha's encouragement to her own sister and Umm Kulthum breast feeded 3 times to Salim. She was about to suckle him 10 times according to the first Quranic revelation, but she could not do it because she fell sick when she suckled Salim for just 3 times. Muwatta Malik Book 30, Hadith 7

Now we will look into the hearts of the women at that time. It is to get suckled by grown up man even if they are uncles. Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1148
