The questioner : I am married to my cousin’s daughter and I have children, and after five years I learned that my uncle had married a wife before my aunt who took her daughter, and it is mentioned that he was breastfed by his first aunt’s wife, but the number of breastfeedings was not confirmed. What is the ruling in this matter?
The Shaykh : The ruling is that this breastfeeding has no effect and is not to be considered, because breastfeeding does not have an effect unless we know that it was five confirmed, known breastfeedings. As for when there is doubt about the number of breastfeedings, it has no effect and does not establish a prohibition of marriage or the prohibition of a marriage contract.
