Question:
This questioner, Abdullah from Jazan, asks: What are the conditions of breastfeeding for a woman with her child?
Answer:
The amount of breastfeeding that establishes kinship is five feedings, five feedings or more. Also, the breastfeeding must occur within the first two years. So, if the breastfeeding is within the two years and consists of five feedings—meaning five sucks, where each suck involves the child sucking milk from the breast, then moving to the other, and so on until he completes five sucks—this is the threshold for breastfeeding, and its time is within the two years.[Al-Baqarah 2:233]. The hadith of Aisha states: “It was among what was revealed that ten known feedings establish prohibition, then that was abrogated by five known feedings that establish prohibition. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while the matter was still as it was.” Yes.
