صحیح مسلم · Hadith 3569

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported tha Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) was with her and she heard the voice of a person seeking permission to enter the house of Hafsa. 'A'isha (Allah he pleased with her) said: Allah's Messenger, he is the person who seeks permission to enter your house, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: I think he is so and so (uncle of Hafsa by reason of fosterage). 'A'isha said: Messenger of Allah, if so and so (her uncle by reason of fosterage) were alive, could he enter my house? Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Yes. Fosterage makes unlawful what consanguinity makes unlawful.
