Breastfeeding after two years
Question
If my niece (sister's daughter) drank my breast milk at the age of two years and two months, will my son's be considered as her milk brothers?
Answer
The child will not be regarded as your foster child as the child drank your milk after the period of breastfeeding (i.e. two lunar years). Hence, your sons will not be regarded as the child's milk brothers.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
