The Criterion for Prohibitive Breastfeeding and the Number of Sucklings

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the criterion for prohibitive breastfeeding? How many sucklings are required? And is it considered if one says, "I believe and I think that I breastfed so-and-so"?

Answer:
Doubt is not acted upon in breastfeeding; the breastfeeding must be established. The number of sucklings is five, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, He sucks the breast each time and milk comes out for him, then he leaves it and sucks again, and so on until he completes five sucklings. This is one condition. The second condition is that this must occur within the two-year period; it must be within the two-year period, and the infant must not be eating food, but rather is nourished by breastfeeding. This is the second condition of the conditions for prohibitive breastfeeding. Yes.
