Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: My brother's daughter was breastfed, he says, by my wife five times. Does she become a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to my children?
Answer:
Yes, if she was breastfed five times, if she sucked the breast five times and milk came out, then she has reached the threshold, the nisab (minimum threshold) of breastfeeding, so it becomes forbidden. Yes.
