B Correct answer
Explanation

Under Muslim Law, fosterage (rada'at) creates a prohibited relationship similar to blood relations. A foster mother becomes prohibited (haram) for marriage, and this prohibition extends to her children. Therefore, a marriage between persons related by fosterage is void (batil) ab initio - it is treated as if it never existed from the beginning. This differs from fasid (irregular) marriages which are merely defective but can be rectified.
