Prohibition of breastfeeding with fewer than five feedings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My mother breastfed my maternal cousin four full feedings, and the fifth was not completed. Is he considered our brother through breastfeeding?

Answer:
If he sucks five times, that is not considered feedings, meaning full feedings. If he sucks the breast five times and milk comes out in each one, then this is forbidden; it is considered forbidden, and the woman who provided the milk is considered his mother through breastfeeding, and her daughters are his sisters, and her sons are his brothers. Yes.
