Sunan an-Nasai 3300 — Breastfeeding Makes Marriage Unlawful

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3300

This hadith gives a clear principle about breastfeeding marriage rules in Islam. Aishah narrated that the Prophet said: what becomes unlawful for marriage through birth also becomes unlawful through breast-feeding. The wording is short but wide in meaning. It tells us that nursing relationships can affect who may be married, just as birth relationships do. The hadith does not list each relation one by one, so the explanation should stay with the general principle stated in the text. It is closely connected to other narrations in this batch where the Prophet explained that a woman was not permissible because of a breast-feeding relationship. The core message is that breast-feeding can create marriage barriers.
