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 forbidden. 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.
