commandment of Pardah between called[1] brother and sister, called mother and son, and called father and daughter. There is Pardah (veil) even with the adopted child (when he becomes adolescent); however, there is no Pardah between the two having family relation established by virtue of suckling for example between Radai mother and son, and Radai brother and sister.

زَبان اور آنکھوں کا قفلِ مدینہ                        عطا ہو پئے مصطفٰے یاالٰہی

صَلُّوۡ اعَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                   صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

It is stated on page 529 of volume 1 Ihya-ul-Uloom, publication of Maktaba-tul-Madinah, Dawat-e-Islami: It is quoted, Sayyiduna Rabee’ bin Khaisam
رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would keep lowering his head and eyes always, even some people would consider him a blind person. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه kept visiting the home of Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Ma’sood رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ for 20 years.

[1] Called brother and sister, mother and son and father and daughter are such people who do not actually have blood-relation. Instead, they treat each other like brother and sister etc., due to a type of friendship. In fact, they are not real brother and sister etc., at all. Shari’ah does not endorse such relations.
