My mother slept next to my uncle's wife, so I went and held the breast of my uncle's wife. When she noticed, she pushed me away from her. She had a doubt that I had sucked from her breast.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My mother slept next to my uncle's wife, and he says, "So I went and held the breast of my uncle's wife," or he says, "So I went and held the breast of my uncle's wife." When she noticed, she pushed me away from her. She had a doubt that I had sucked from her breast, only two or three times, and she did not confirm it. When this woman died, my uncle married another woman. The question is: Do I have the right to marry the daughter of this second woman, whom I did not suckle, and whose daughter did not suckle my mother?

The Shaykh : It is permissible for you to marry the daughters of your uncle from this last woman, and from the first woman whose breast you held, but you did not suckle from her except once, twice, or three times.

The questioner : The sucklings, meaning?

The Shaykh : And that, yes, and that is because the condition for the suckling that makes marriage forbidden is that it be five sucklings before weaning, and you did not suckle even four times.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Not even three times, because the whole matter with you is a matter of doubt, and the original state is that it did not happen. So you are not currently a son of your uncle, and his daughters are not your sisters. It is permissible for you to marry any of them you wish, except one who suckled from your mother or from your father's wife, for she is not lawful for you because she is your sister — [the one who suckled from the daughters of your uncle from your mother or your father's wife].

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : As for the one from whom you did not suckle, neither from your mother nor from your father's wife, she is lawful for you.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : His second question, you have answered part of it in his first question, because.
