The network, O Sa'id. Please, the question, O Maher.
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you.
The questioner:
My mother, the question says: My mother has four children. One of our neighbors' children, the fourth one, the first one, sucked from the breast, then released the breast. The second one did the same sucking, the seventh one was the same, and the fourth one was the same. So, is he our brother through breastfeeding, or is he our brother?
The Shaykh:
If he breastfed from her five times, meaning he sucked each time, milk came down and he swallowed it, then he released the breast, then he returned to it and sucked it a second, third, fourth, and fifth time, and each time he sucked the milk, then this is complete breastfeeding, if it was within the two-year period, if this breastfeeding was within the two-year period. Then the woman who breastfed him becomes his mother, and her children become his brothers through breastfeeding, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
