The questioner : The question says: A woman breastfed a girl and a boy, and she is a stranger to them, and they are from different mothers, according to her estimate.
The Shaykh : And they are.
The questioner : From different mothers, from different mothers, meaning they are from different mothers.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : And according to her estimate, she stated that she breastfed them only once. Is it permissible to marry them to each other?
The Shaykh : Yes, it must be known that it is necessary for breastfeeding to consist of five sucklings; less than that has no effect. If two children were breastfed by a woman once, twice, three times, or four times, they would not be siblings. Do you understand? Accordingly, it is permissible to marry them to each other.
