The questioner:
I have been married to my wife for ten years, and Allah has blessed me with a son and a daughter from her. This year, I learned that I was breastfed by my uncle’s wife. This uncle’s wife is the daughter of [my uncle]. My wife is the daughter of my uncle’s daughter from a second wife. When I asked my uncle’s wife about the number of sucklings, she said, “I do not know the number, nor whether it is more or less than five sucklings.” What is the ruling in this matter? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
As long as, as long as there is nothing upon you, your wife is with you and there is no issue, until you know with certainty that it was five sucklings and that you were within the two-year period.
