How many breastfeedings are there that prohibit marriage?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... He has two wives, and one of the wives breastfed a child belonging to another woman twice, and the other wife breastfed him three times. What is the ruling on this marriage through breastfeeding?
The Shaykh : As long as it is two and three, these do not prohibit marriage unless it amounts to five breastfeedings.
The questioner : Meaning ... from the wife.
The Shaykh : Whether it is from this one or that one, the important thing is that what prohibits is five breastfeedings.
The questioner : From the single wife.
The Shaykh : It is not important, my brother. Now, the issue is the number of breastfeedings that prohibit. The number is five.
The questioner : Five.
The Shaykh : Yes, so as long as there are not five, if there are two and three, there is no prohibition.
The questioner : ... Some of them do this to each other here in America.
'Aziz Khadr: ... Two wives...
The Shaykh : How? How? No, no, repeat the story of the breastfeeding.
The questioner : The breastfeeding.
The Shaykh : What is its story?
The questioner : A man has two wives.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : And there is another woman who has no relation to these people, and she has a child.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This child breastfed from one of the man's wives twice and breastfed from the second wife three times, so this is five breastfeedings.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : From the milk that flowed because of the husband.
The Shaykh : I did not understand. Is that woman a stranger now? Five breastfeedings.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : The cause is the husband of the two wives.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, so in that case, the prohibition takes place.
The questioner : For the man, and not for the two wives, correct?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes, praise be to Allah.
