The limit of breastfeeding that creates a prohibition and who is prohibited by it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the limit of breastfeeding that creates a prohibition? And who are those who are prohibited by breastfeeding? Knowing, Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), that there is great leniency in this matter.
Answer:
The breastfeeding that creates a prohibition is five breastfeedings or more within the two-year period, while the child is within the two-year period, while the child is within the two-year period before being weaned. A breastfeeding is defined as the child sucking the breast until the milk certainly goes into his stomach, by the wet nurse, then the second breastfeeding after that, then the second, each one in its own state is independent, five, even if in one sitting, even if over days, or more than five. As for if it is less than five, or the boy has been weaned, beyond the two-year period, breastfeeding does not benefit, there is no practice upon it, and if milk is given five times or more, each time continuous, it takes the place of breastfeeding. Yes.
