The breastfeeding that results in prohibition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: My mother told me that I was breastfed once by a woman whose daughter I want to marry. Is it permissible for me to marry this daughter?
Answer: The breastfeeding that results in prohibition must be five times or more, provided the child is within the first two years. If it is less than that, it does not result in prohibition. This is based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Sahlah bint Sahil:, and what is established from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: "It was among what was revealed in the Qur'an that ten known breastfeedings result in prohibition, then they were abrogated by five known breastfeedings. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while the matter remained as such." It was narrated by Imam Muslim in his Sahih, and by Imam al-Tirmidhi in his Jami', and this is his wording. And his statement (peace and blessings be upon him): Bulugh al-Maram 8:198. And success is from Allah.
