Is he a mahram to his female cousin if he was breastfed once by his cousin’s mother, his aunt?
I was breastfed by my maternal uncle's wife once. I have a Cousin sister (the child of my maternal uncle and his wife), who is my age. Am I a Maharam to her? Some people say that to qualify as a foster bother or sister a person should be breast fed 5 times. This is were the situation gets confusing as I was fed only once.
Kindly help me out in this as I really want to know if my cousin can consider me as her mahram or not. Since childhood we consider each other as blood-related brother and sister, as we knew I had been breastfed by her mother. I really want to know if I qualify to be her Mahram. And what would I be to her other Elder Brother and sisters.
Can I be considered their Foster Brother or Mahram?
