According to his view, the prohibition is established, unless it becomes clear that he is a male; for one is not secure from the possibility that he is a mahram (unmarriageable relative).

Section: If milk manifests in a woman without intercourse, and she breastfeeds a child with it, it spreads the prohibition, according to the more evident of the two narrations. This is the view of Ibn Hamid, the school of Malik, al-Thawri, al-Shafi'i, Abu Thawr, the People of Opinion, and everyone whom Ibn al-Mundhir recorded [a view] from, based on the saying of the Almighty: "And your mothers who have nursed you" (44). [It is also] because it is the milk of a woman, so prohibition attaches to it, just as if it had manifested through intercourse, and because the milk of women was created (45) for the nourishment of children; even if this is rare, its genus is customary. The second narration is that it does not spread the prohibition because it is rare and not customary for the nourishment of children, thus it resembles the milk of men. The first [view] is more correct.

Section: If a man has five mothers of children (umm al-walad) from whom he has milk, and a child is nursed by each one of them once, they do not become mothers to him, but the master becomes his father. This is the view of Ibn Hamid, because he was nursed by his milk five times. There is another view: fatherhood is not established because this is a nursing that did not establish motherhood, so it did not establish fatherhood, like nursing from the milk of a man. The first is more correct, for fatherhood is established by virtue of him having nursed from his milk, not by virtue of the nurse being a mother to him. The companions of al-Shafi'i have two viewpoints like these two. And if (46) we say that fatherhood is established, the nurses are prohibited to him because he is their step-son, and they are women with whom his father has had intercourse. If a man has five daughters and they nurse a child, each one once, they do not become mothers to him. Does the man become a grandfather to him, and his children become maternal uncles and aunts (47)? There are two views: One of them is that he becomes a grandfather, and their brother becomes a maternal uncle; because there has (48) been completed for the nursing child five sucklings from the milk of his daughters or sisters, so it resembles the case where it was from one person.
