The Ruling on Breastfeeding Mixed with Nutrients

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I watched a play in one of the universities in this country, and among the scenes was a scene of a fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) lesson. The teacher Shaykh is sitting, with a group of students around him, and one of them asks him, saying: "Shaykh, I was breastfed by a woman five times, so is she forbidden to me?" The Shaykh answers him: "If you were breastfed by her five times, and the fifth was mixed with serilats, then she is forbidden to you." Honorable Shaykh, the question is: Is there mockery of the religion in this? And does the one who said this, and helped with it, become an apostate, even if he did not intend to mock?

The Shaykh:
Listen to this speech, what does it come to you and what does it come to you? Yes.

The presenter:
The right of the shackles.

The Shaykh:
If milk is mixed with other nutrients, it does not harm; it is milk that establishes the prohibition, even if it is mixed with other types of nutrients, and there is no mockery in this. So whether the milk is drunk pure or mixed with others, the ruling is one; it does not differ. If one is breastfed five times from milk, whether pure milk or milk mixed with nutrients, the prohibition is counted, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Five known breastfeedings make [a person] forbidden,خمس رضعات معلومات يحرمن،
the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things thatيحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من
Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam)
