The Forbidden Sucklings in Breastfeeding

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I hope for clarification on how the sucklings in breastfeeding are counted. Is it required that they be satiating, or is it sufficient if there is only milk in them?

Answer:
It contains only milk, even if they were not full feedings. The Messenger did not say "full feedings"; he did not say that. He said:
Five known sucklings make a woman a milk-motherخمس رضعات معلومات يحرمن
And what is meant by the sucklings are the suckles where one sucks the breast and milk comes out for him in each instance. If five suckles are completed,
Suckling (Al-Imlajah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited.لا تحرم الإملاجة ولا الإملاجتان
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3308Sahih (Darussalam)
meaning the suckle. The *imlajah* is the suckle. One or two suckles do not make it forbidden. So the suckles are those in which there is milk, even if they were not full feedings. Yes.
