# Is the hadith about a woman breastfeeding the adult Salim authentic? *Mohammed Hijab against al-Albani's fatwa on suckling an adult: the Salim report* - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/b1ooltqtptw/s/43/ - Date: 2021-03-02 · Kind: lesson · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: Monday Nights with Mufti #204 | Q&A Unscripted & Unrestricted! 😉 | Mufti Abu Layth (3:21:30–3:27:30) - Status: general teaching - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1OOltqtPTw&t=12090s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/b1ooltqtptw/ **Topics:** False and fabricated hadith; Interaction between men and women; Salafism and Wahhabism **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth calls the report of the adult Salim being suckled fabricated and mocks al-Albani's fatwa permitting it directly, welcoming Mohammed Hijab's attack on it as a sign he is outgrowing Salafism. **Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth says the report that the Prophet told a woman to let the grown Salim drink her milk is fabricated, because it is ridiculous. **Evidence, his words at 3:23:55:** “allegedly the prophet said well why don't you let him drink your milk now he doesn't mention how to drink that milk and this hadith is fabricated anyway because it's ridiculous” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1OOltqtPTw&t=12235s) ## Longer summary After replaying a moment of Qadhi's clip and joking about the word 'moniker', Mufti Abu Layth turns to what he calls Mohammed Hijab's meltdown on Twitter, which he rather likes because he thinks Hijab is outgrowing his Salafi shell: by attacking a fatwa of al-Albani on suckling grown men, he has indirectly attacked the Salafis as a whole, pointing out that Salafis look down on Yusuf al-Qaradawi's fatwa on shaking hands with the opposite gender, which is less severe. Mufti explains the report behind the fatwa, in which Sahla [?] wanted to make Salim [?], of the household of Abu Hudhayfa, a mahram and the Prophet allegedly told her to let him drink her milk, and says the hadith is fabricated anyway because it is ridiculous, since a woman without infant children does not simply produce milk. He says al-Albani, asked how the milk was to be drunk, said he had no problem with it being drunk directly, and that exposing the nipple is not a fitnah because men do not desire it, being dark, which Mufti mocks. ## Sources and names cited - Mohammed Hijab - al-Albani - Yusuf al-Qaradawi - Sahla bint Suhayl [?] - Salim, of the household of Abu Hudhayfa [?] - report: let him drink your milk so that he becomes your mahram - rada' (breastfeeding) - mahram - fitnah - Salafi ## Transcript (machine tier, 3:21:30–3:27:30) [3:20:54] can you imagine her researching she must have been like what what exactly does he expect me to be doing here he's like yeah it's done jesus is coming so i will tackle all of these issues one by one people so insha allah let's you know what we gotta wrap this up it's been going on today's just gone on for so long i did want to do the uh shall i cover very quickly the muhammad hijab thing [3:21:29] you know what my throats kind of really okay i tell you what let's quickly do it then people before we go to that let's take an academic look let's remove ourselves from the emotional back and forth and let it by the moniker mufti abu leith and by the monarch mufti abu leith and [Applause] [3:22:04] darling [Music] yeah monica monica monica well monica has brought down a presidency in the past [Laughter] so right guys very quick let's take a look very quickly at uh this that's gone down this week [3:22:41] it has been quite um basically there's been a whole meltdown by uh muhammad hijab and i'm kind of liking it because this side of muhammad hijab i think although i don't know about the the grotesque interaction but still he's basically i think he's kind of outgrowing his salafi shell and i think this really he's kind of called out the entire selfies on these because you know this is not the issue he picked was an issue by [3:23:17] uh albany that is about suckling grown men right so and by attacking albani's point he's attacked the entire salafi and i think this is a indirect way of saying i've had enough of the salafis so i like that i have to say um here is muhammad hijab as you can see he's highlighting that right there he mentions that look all selfies look down upon yusuf kardawi's fatwa shaking hands with the opposite gender which is more severe [3:23:55] shaking hands or sucking her breast [Laughter] so basically what's happened is uh albany has a fatwa way he's being asked that can you how does this this hadith of salim and salabin sahil and abu uh hudaifah that that this slave she wanted to make him a maharam so allegedly the prophet said well why don't you let him drink your milk now he doesn't mention how to drink that milk and this hadith is fabricated anyway because it's ridiculous [3:24:33] i mean this woman didn't have other children then you can't just produce milk you know it doesn't just work like she he doesn't just say i know just make him drink your milk like it's just not it's not on tap you know and she didn't there's no wreck she didn't have no infant children at the time so how is she just producing milk anyway this fabricated hadith doesn't mention how he drank the milk so albani is asked and he says well you she can drink it look if they drink it directly i don't have a problem [3:25:09] so if we take the look man let me see so here you've got assalamu alaikum the issue about [Music] is [3:25:44] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] if she just removes the nipple i mean sorry exposes the nipple then the nipple is not a fitnah [3:26:10] he says as many men husbands know is not something men desire you think he says well he says it's not something men desire so he says because the nipple is just dark [Laughter] so because the nipple's dark it's men not really they ain't attracted to [3:26:52] the coaster right there right i just wear a badge here so according to albani that's not a fitnah men can just circle at the nipples if they want to be become related uh i think this is a is that what they're doing in alabama ah they got cha cha i'm been by venpai brother sister rather sister so this uh so this is what um muhammad hijab had taken ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment b1OOltqtPTw/s/43. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/b1ooltqtptw/s/43/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
