The ruling on a child who drank the milk of a non-mahram woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on a nursing child who drank the milk of a non-mahram woman, whether it was only one suckling or two? Does she become his mother through breastfeeding? And what has been reported regarding this?

Answer:
Yes, if he drank the milk from a container or a cup, or if he suckled the milk of a woman, she becomes his mother, provided he took five sips of the milk, five suckles. In that case, he becomes the son of this woman, and the women who are mahram to her are mahram to him. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب
Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam)
