Doubt in Breastfeeding and the Number of Sucklings That Prohibit Marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you.
The questioner:
I am about to marry off our daughter. This girl was previously breastfed by my sister. She does not know how many times she breastfed her. Once or twice. They said it was almost as if she took her from her mother’s breast after her family left, and she took her from her breast until she was full.
The Shaykh:
It does not become prohibited unless it is five sucklings.
The questioner:
She does not know if she drank five times.
The Shaykh:
But leaving it is better, from the perspective of avoiding doubt. Leave what causes doubt. And if it does not become prohibited except with five sucklings, then it is two or more.
The questioner:
Of course, the interpretation of these five sucklings, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The breast is filled, the breast is described, the milk is swallowed, and then he releases the breast.
The questioner:
Then he goes for a second period.
The Shaykh:
The second one is in the court.
The questioner:
It did not happen with me.
The Shaykh:
The report does not prohibit.
The questioner:
It does not prohibit.
The Shaykh:
No, it does not, O Hamad.
The questioner:
Thank you.
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you.
