What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

The guest says classical jurists allowed a husband to drink his wife's milk, and Mufti Abu Layth says the Maliki school considers it pure and not haram, unlike a stricter Hanafi view.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth asks the guest what the objective is behind posting strange opinions such as intercourse during menstruation, and whether it spreads fitnah. The guest says many married people ask him in private; a father of five had been told that he may not drink his wife's milk during intimacy because it is for the child, and the guest shared fatwas that it is permissible, saying it is not his own opinion but that of the classical jurists, who even discussed hypotheticals such as the offspring of a dog and a goat. Mufti says the Maliki school considers human milk pure and places no prohibition on it, while the Hanafi school is borderline on it, and adds that the questions are real, mentioning bodybuilders. He tells a case he read in a Karachi fatwa collection during his studies: a woman with excess milk left it in a bowl in the kitchen, her husband unknowingly made tea with it, and they wrote in for a fatwa; he recalls, unsure, that the answer treated the marriage as affected. The guest mentions the Hanafi ruling that seeing the private parts of one's in-laws makes one's wife forbidden.

55:09

sorry sure he was saying now so right so this whole thing so you feel that this whole horrible Rita Mae was not me was actually more an issue of disobedience defiance as opposed to Kufa and it was more a political decision than more of a political decision to establish the writ of the government and of the authority so as it was the norm back then whoever challenge challenge is the authority and tried to coup against them

55:46

so I said was this political issue not the actual Cooper alright okay it's very fascinating right chef there's been a few other posts that you've shared as well that have struck up some controversy now I mean some of your findings that you feel because I I've been following your posts recently this mean obviously it's on the women masajid issue you've posted on other issues quite a few

56:23

controversial ones to me is this is this something because I post a lot of sometimes I don't post as much no but I speak and I give certain Fattah WA is this is this what is somebody may ask what is the objective behind you doing posting these let's say strange opinions or things like this is this is this for fitna facade you're making more people you know like let's say be sharing this thing on well having intercourse during

57:00

menstruation or if I recall correctly I think there was one on link to pornography in the sense that was they want about seeing an image of a lot of people personally asked me about about this and there was a father of five kids he asked me that like about you know because someone gave him a fatwa that you can't okay you cannot drink the milk

57:38

of your wife so during intimacy and things like that so I had to share with him the photo Moses no bus and their reasoning was those who prohibited it that you can't drink it because it's for the child if the child drink if the charge if you drink it the child wouldn't be nothing much would be left for the child so these people asked these portions to me in private a lot of people different people they are married so what should I say to them no you can't no I think I should be saying you shouldn't have sex at all because it's far it's fahashi it's monster and you should be

58:18

percent let me get this right the person himself wanted to drink the milk breastfeed I shared with him the first watch here come the about that it's permissible we can drink it and you said well then we can drink a cow's milk

58:49

I'm never be another man oh yeah they have said that you can the woman can tell their breast fed milk as well in the you know it's good for bodybuilders [Music] and other scholars they said that it's fine because the Maliki mess up as well has no restriction on it considers these things pure it doesn't say that you know

59:28

it's not Haram for obviously people don't go around drinking women's milk but it's not a Haram thing they don't consider it how long whereas the Hanafi meth lab I think borderline does consider it Haram uh yeah I think some [ __ ] they have heard this opinion of saying it Haram I think exactly don't remember so because legend say women sell it on eBay Amazon do prime delivery I'm not

1:00:07

saying anything from from my own opinion it's not my own opinion it's the opinion of the classical folk aha so if they have discussed it like you know in the hanukkah textbook they discussed if uh if a dog have intercourse with the goat and the if the dog has uses the dog and is that in and if they're born babe babies have goat and half and so what will be the ruling on that and whether it's the milk of that baby will be permissible to end words about it what about its meat effective the cross of a dog and a goat so think like that they have discussed right so I'm not even discussing behalf of our becam

1:00:47

like I mean what you're trying to say it's a hypothetical this is a realistic questions happens I had that question because someone here to an article dead body is good for bodybuilders and bodybuilders take you know i I've read this as a real you know on the ground

1:01:07

question you know that up Camus I know I know I had in something like about so he

1:01:46

had this question so what I used to do was as I was going covering the class the lessons in class I will try and read up on real-life issues so let's say we're reading up on the lot today I would check the section off my mark I wonder what you know Q&A and try and make sense of it so he had this question on raga on this kind of breastfeeding and what he said was there's a I think in Karachi some some woman was producing excessive milk good productions either there was more more supply than demand

1:02:25

the laws of economics weren't quite so so what she did is it was getting a bit burdensome so she kind of like squeezed it out into a bowl a container or something and then just left it in the kitchen so she forgotten all about it so he came and he came back from work the husband and he makes some choice some teacher but yeah so he makes some tea and and

1:03:03

then he drinks and he kills her son so they're both drinking it and what happens is afterwards after they finish she says a chat so she says oh did you bring some milk then today and he says no and she says oh but I thought we were out of milk and he says what are you talking about there was a bowl full in the kitchen so she says oh is that what you made the tea from yeah that was my own vomit up cos dude my own production interestingly

1:03:34

they didn't feel any different effect so they sent in a fatwa to move the illusion beside on Arkham Asylum which I doubt it's really it's it's more like destruction so they asked him and the Hanafi fatwa is her I think if I'm correct they Mecca is broken or something oh yes

1:04:13

if you see the you know the private part of your grant your father-in-law your mother-in-law then your wife becomes Haram on you yeah which is kind of and I felt so sorry for this couple thinking that these guys are probably separated now thinking that we are Haram for each other because of this in the D&E table when he gives a lot to her wife he took petrov home lu heavy on [ __ ] cannot sir i said again mostly load eunbi
