Meaning of Milk from Impregnating Agent (the Father)

4- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ أَرْضَعَتْ جَارِيَةً وَلِزَوْجِهَا ابْنٌ مِنْ غَيْرِهَا أَيَحِلُّ لِلْغُلامِ ابْنِ زَوْجِهَا أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ الْجَارِيَةَ الَّتِي أَرْضَعَتْ فَقَالَ اللَّبَنُ لِلْفَحْلِ.
4. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, about the case of a woman who breastfeeds a girl and her husband has a son from another woman if it is lawful for this boy, the son of her husband to marry the girl she has breastfed. He (the Imam) said, ‘The milk is from ‘impregnating agent’ her husband.’”
