they've had the same kind of uh wet nurse or nursing mother then i think that's fine they've got a kind of bond as uh as the teaching kind of states that's fine um as to if you adopted a child how does that child become a mahram now some people say oh i've heard these scholars say oh just get them to drink the milk of the woman
i'm like how does this work like like so we just go around drinking women's milk and some of the selfies believe you can do this for grown men as well it's a grown man so if you want to get like if you want to be formally friend-zoned [Laughter] if you want to be friend-zoned beyond no other friend zone like there is no escape it's an inescapable it's a friend stroke brother zone if you wanna if you really wanna get to that zone you have to drink her milk like i don't
don't know what sick games you guys are playing how the hell does this work like uh okay right so all i know is you guys your imagination is rather nothing nutty [Laughter] these games you play on these games so so women don't produce milk on request as as very well noted but what they're trying to say is nowadays you can induce milk through medication so you can get medicine to induce milk and then he gets to drink that
[Laughter] it's like it's all right i'll just take it fresh as it what kind of a sick game is this i'll i'll take it fresh sister [Laughter] oh my god man these guys have got one cr they've got a crazy imagination i tell you what admin put them on the whatsapp group
i like their so coming back to this point look what i would say is that in this day and age you know the mahramiyah the maharamiyah or two certain things ought to just stand occurs through that process so for example if you adopt a child the adoption process becomes maharamiya that's what the fatwa that i would give that if you unless it was a unless you're adopting a grown
adult or like a borderline adult you know but if they were a child then the child generally would gain maharamia automatically so i would say that people like if you adopted a child then him and your own children would be like siblings and then psychology teaches us there's the westermark effect that they wouldn't generally they wouldn't grow up with a sexual attraction to each other anyway because they've kind of grown up around each other so that's so these kind of things are there anyway but i would feel that the sharia would say in today's day and age the western like
the process itself is the ritual that would make them so if you adopt they are mahram if they're a child and that's fine so this is and you don't need to do any of this absurd ridiculous stuff like make the child drink milk from the woman and stuff like this and what kind of sick games are these even the child i can imagine they're like yeah we gotta we got some milk for you sounds like it's all right i don't drink milk no no drink it he's like why does this milk look different i drink it
right so this this kind of stuff is just weird like we need to stop making islam be stupid okay we are just stupid and we are making the dean look stupid the deen is not stupid we are making it look like that because we're just stupid so look maharami is for a purpose let's just be honest let's just be honest here if you got an eight-year-old to drink a bit of milk from a woman let's just say he's not gonna physiologically become her son genetically indeed through dna that's not going to happen is it so the truth is this is just a ritual that some scholars
have have mentioned in their books in the past just a ritual it didn't have any physiological impact so the ritual can change so in today's day and age adoption can be an equal ritual that if you adopt them this is it you welcome them as your child and they become your child
