Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our Shaykh, a Muslim woman placed her infant with a Christian woman, and then this Christian woman breastfed the infant; does this act apply - our Shaykh - to a Muslim woman if she breastfeeds a Muslim male such that he cannot marry her daughters?

The Shaykh : ... breastfeeding is five feedings ... .

The questioner : Yes, five feedings.

The Shaykh : The breastfeeding occurred, whether from a Muslim woman or a disbeliever.

The questioner : Meaning, we say that he is her son through breastfeeding, and she is a Christian?

The Shaykh : Yes, and who breastfed our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The questioner : Halimah al-Sa'diyah.
