The number of breastfeedings that establish a prohibition in breastfeeding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman breastfed a child twice. Does he become a brother to her daughters?
Answer:
It is not the two instances that are discussed; the discussion is about the number of suckles. If a child suckles the breast five times, with milk coming out each time—five suckles in which milk is extracted—then the man becomes a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her and her daughters. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 17:14 Five known breastfeedings. This is in the authentic collections from 'A'ishah: within the two years, they establish a prohibition. That means five breastfeedings, meaning five suckles, even if they occur in a single sitting.

"One suck does not establish the prohibition, nor two sucks, nor one suckle, nor two suckles."
