The ruling on marrying a woman who was breastfed by one's mother for two days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a man wants to marry a woman who was breastfed by his mother for an unknown number of times over a period of two days, and the mother does not know if she breastfed her twice in one day or more. The question is: Is it permissible for him to marry that woman or not?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to marry that woman if she was breastfed by his mother for two days. In two days, it is necessarily more than five breastfeedings. Therefore, he is not allowed to marry her. Even if he does not know the number of breastfeedings, this is among the doubtful matters. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12:2035
The minimum status of this woman is that she is doubtful, and the doubtful matter is to be avoided in favor of what is free from doubt and suspicion. Yes, although it is more likely that she was breastfed five times, because in two days she must have been breastfed more than five times. Yes.

The lawful is clear, and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters.
الحلال بين والحرام بين وبينهما أمور مشتبهات.So whoever avoids the doubtful matters has protected his religion and his honor, and he said: Leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt.
فمن ترك الشبهات فقد استبرأ لدينه وعرضه، وقال دع ما يريبك إلى ما لا يريبك.The minimum status of this woman is that she is doubtful, and the doubtful matter is to be avoided in favor of what is free from doubt and suspicion. Yes, although it is more likely that she was breastfed five times, because in two days she must have been breastfed more than five times. Yes.
