in building his body; milk, as it is known, is the main factor for a baby's growth and building up his bones. particularly in the early months of his life. Accordingly, such a breast feeding woman becomes similar to the baby's real mother, and she must be respected, honoured. just like the real mother* Al-Fakhr Al-Razi-stated that "if a woman breast feds a baby. a part of the baby's body becomes a part of her body; it is her milk which builds up the baby's body. So, in this regard, she is like the baby's real mother who gave birth to the baby. Accordingly, the daughters of such breast feeding women become like the baby's sisters; all their bodies originate in the same woman because she fed all of them on her milk. 3. Temporary prohibitions that ease once the reasons behind it are removed, apply to many kinds of woman. Among those are: (i) The prohibition known as combining Al-Ma-barim. Examples of these prohibitions are a man's getting married to a woman and her sister, aunt or sister's daughter. As the Qurlan says: "And two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time except for what is past; for God is oft forgiving, most merciful. " 2 In the tradition, UmHabibctnarrated, I said, IT Allah's Apostlel Marry my sister the daughter of AbU SufyZ1.11 He said, "Do you like that ? 11 1 said, "Yes, for even now I am not your only wife; and the most beloved person to share the good with me is my sister. " The Prophet said, "But that is not lawful for me (i. e. to be married to 3 two sisters at a time Another Hadith was narrated by Jabir Allah's Apostle forbade that a woman should be married to a man : along with her paternal or maternal auntOll 1.

However. a man can get married to a woman and her aunt's or uncle's daughter at the same time. This is simply because a man is not allowed to marry his own sister or aunt - consequently, he may not marry two women whose relationship to each other is within the prohibited degree (i. e. sisters or aunt and niece). However, when a man divorces a woman he can, after the interim period (Al! Iddah), get married to the woman's aunt, brother's daughter or sister's daughter. 2. The woman who has been divorced three times: Although Islam allows a man to divorce his wife. there are some restrictions and limitations. A man can remarry his divorced wife, if the divorce is for the first or second time. However, if the divorce is for the third time, a man can not remarry his divorced wife unless she first gets married to another man, who then either divorces her, or dies (as we shall discuss later) and her marriage to the other man must be a proper marriage with a contract and must be consummated, after which she can remarry her former husband as the Qurlan makes clear in this verse: "so if a husband divorces his wife, (irrevocably) he can not, after that, remarry her until after she has married another husband and he has divorced her. In that case, there is no blame on either of them if they re-unite, provided they feel that they can keep the limits ordained by God. " 1 3. Getting married to a fifth wife : If a man has four wives, he ýI can not get married to a fifth wife until he divorces one of his four wives and until the interim period of his divorced wife is over 2.230 82 I
