Prohibition is not established except by five breastfeedings

Question: I was breastfed by a woman three times; one feeding each day, on different occasions. Am I a brother to the one who was breastfed by his mother or not? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.

Answer: These three feedings do not establish the prohibition of breastfeeding; rather, the prohibition is established by five feedings or more. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while the matter remained as such." Imam Muslim recorded it in his Sahih, and Imam al-Tirmidhi in his Jami', and this is his wording.
The Shaykh : A feeding is defined as holding the breast and swallowing the milk—even if the child does not become full, and even if the duration is long. When he releases it, that is one feeding. If he returns, holds the breast, and sucks the milk from it, that is a second feeding, and so on. This is on the condition that the child is within the two-year period. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): , and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): And success is from Allah.
