Question:
Regarding this matter, the nullifiers of the muhallil: Is it necessary for the threat to be direct, or does it apply to the act of feeding and the legal capacity?
Answer:
Yes, it counts as breastfeeding from the breast, and it also counts if the child is fed by pouring the milk into a bottle or a vessel and the child drinks it, taking it in time after time. It carries the ruling of breastfeeding because the intended purpose is nourishment. The child is nourished by it whether through the breast, the bottle, the vessel, or by pouring it into his mouth so that it goes into his stomach and he is nourished by it. What is considered is the nourishment by it, whereas whether it is by sucking, pouring, or otherwise, that has no effect. Yes.
