If a woman milks her milk into a container, we pour water over it, and a child drinks from it, does the prohibition of breastfeeding (rada') become established?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This is also a good example. For instance, a woman milks her milk into this container, and we pour water over it, and the water overpowers the milk so that no trace of it remains.
The Shaykh : Then the child drinks it. Does the prohibition of breastfeeding (rada') become established in this case? There is something to it, but the correct view is that it is not established because its effect has vanished. According to the view that it is established, it is necessary that the child drink all the water so that we are certain that he has drunk the portion the woman milked; otherwise, no, it counts as one suckling because it is one container.
The questioner : Huh? What?
The Shaykh : No, no, it is not a condition, it is not a condition. For this reason, if we suppose that this boy does not suckle the breast and we put him on the bottle, behind him, he gives the greeting. Yes.
