Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman breastfed a girl, and this girl grew up and got married. The question is that the woman said, "I do not know whether I breastfed her the number of feedings that make marriage forbidden or not," while some of the women confirmed that she breastfed her those feedings that make marriage forbidden. So, is this breastfeeding established or not?

Answer:
The wet nurse is given precedence over others; because she is the one concerned with the matter. So, if she has doubt, the breastfeeding is not established. Yes.
