Ayesha (l.a.) and breastfeeding of adult men



And Ayesha held the opinion that breastfeeding adult men would make them mahram (i.e. make it permissible for them to see her without the veil) and she actually breastfed one slave-boy while all of the other wives of Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) denied this like how it has been narrated in tradition numbers 12 and 13.
