Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And O Shaykh, if a woman doubts the number of rak'ahs or forgets it, what is she to do?
The Shaykh:
Like what?
The questioner:
If a woman doubts in this matter, whether she breastfed or forgot, then it is as if it did not happen.
The Shaykh:
Do you know what the jurists say? They say that if there is doubt regarding breastfeeding or its number, there is no prohibition, because the default is the absence of prohibition, the absence of breastfeeding. Yes.
