Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a woman asks: What is breastfeeding that prohibits marriage? How does it occur? Does it happen in five days or in five sessions? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you.
Answer:
Breastfeeding that prohibits marriage is that which meets two conditions. The first condition is that it occurs within the first two years and is due to hunger. The second condition is that it consists of five suckles, meaning five breastfeeding sessions or more, where in each suckle milk flows and is swallowed. If these two conditions are met within the two years, and there are five suckles, each containing milk that enters his stomach, then the conditions for breastfeeding are complete.
