Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I have an elderly grandmother, and she says that she breastfed me when I was two years old, because at that time she had no other children to breastfeed. He says: I have an elderly grandmother, and she says that she breastfed me when I was two years old, because at that time she had no children to breastfeed, and her age at the time of breastfeeding was approximately over fifty. Is that accepted?

Answer:
And Amina’s testimony is accepted, and the milk kinship is established by her testimony. Milk has no specific time limit; if a woman produces milk and breastfeeds a child with it, he becomes her son, even if she is fifty, sixty, or seventy years old. The criterion is the presence of milk. Yes.
