The questioner : How do we determine the count in a case like the one you described?
The Shaykh : We count the number of times if this child suckles from this cup, then separates and comes back to suckle at another time, then separates and comes back a third time at another time, then separates, until five times are completed.
The questioner : Do we count every sip he drinks as one time?
The Shaykh : Do you mean every mouthful? No, we count every sitting as one time.
