Question

my wife is breastfeeding our 9 month daughter, while being aroused i sucked her nipple and drank some milk not intentionally. Is our marriage null. HOW CAN I REPAIR the situation as it was the spur of the moment.

Answer

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful


Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

It is prohibited for the husband to drink the wife’s breast milk.

However, that does not invalidate the Nikah. You should make taubah and Istighfar for your sinful act and resolve never to repeat that in future.

And Allāh Ta῾āla knows best

Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
