Is breastfeeding established by doubt, and what are the conditions of breastfeeding that creates a prohibition?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He asks, Honorable Shaykh, regarding the breastfeeding that creates a prohibition. The questioner also says, Honorable Shaykh, that my mother says, “I think” or “it appears to me.” Do these expressions count in breastfeeding?

Answer:
Doubt does not establish a prohibition in breastfeeding. One must know and be certain; doubt is not sufficient, because the default is that there was no breastfeeding. As for the number of breastfeedings that creates a prohibition, it is five, according to the correct view. Five breastfeedings means five sucks, where the child sucks the breast and milk comes down for him or flows for him each time, and this is within the period of two years. Yes.
