2-b3- اللَّبَنُ لَا يَمُوتُ
[The milk will not die], in a saying of 'Omar,
in a trad., means, that if a child sucks the milk
of a dead woman, it becomes unlawful for him
afterwards to marry any of her relations who
would be unlawful to him if he sucked her milk
while she was living: or it means, that, if milk
taken from the breast of a woman is given to a
child to drink, and he drinks it, the consequence
is the same; that the effect of the milk in producing this consequence is not annulled by its
separation from the breast; for whatever is
separated from a living being is termed ميت, or
dead, except the milk and hair and wool on
account of the necessity of making use of these.
