The Considered Suckling in Prohibitive Breastfeeding

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the counted suckling in the breastfeeding that prohibits marriage?

Answer:
A single suck is when the child sucks the breast, takes milk from it, and then releases it. This is one suck. If he returns to it and sucks a second time, that is a second suck, until he completes five sucks. It is not a full meal, as some people think. It is not a full meal; the suck is the act of sucking, not the full meal. Yes.
