What are the conditions for the five breastfeedings that establish kinship through breastfeeding?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it required that the five breastfeedings be satiating?

Answer:
No, because the hadith mentions a suckle
One or two sucks does not make marriage unlawfulلا تحرم المصة ولا المصتان
Sunan Abi Dawud 2063Sahih (Al-Albani)
and in another narration, al-imlajah. Al-imlajah is the suckle. If he sucks the milk and leaves it, then returns to it, these are the suckles until he completes five. If he sucks milk and swallows it, then leaves it, then returns to it a second time, that is the second, until he completes five suckles. This is what came in the hadith. As for the one who says it must be satiating, there is no evidence for that; it is merely his opinion based on his thought and view. The hadith explicitly mentions the suckle and al-imlajah. Yes.
