Breastfeeding of an uncertain number does not result in prohibition

Question: I married my cousin’s daughter last year. My problem with her is this: My breastfeeding mother—who nursed me along with her eldest son—testified that she also nursed my wife along with her son, but she did not specify to us the manner of the breastfeeding or the number of times. What should I do given this situation?

Answer: Your wife is not prohibited to you until the woman mentioned, who nursed you, testifies that she nursed her five times or more, provided that the nursling was within the first two years. In addition, it is necessary to establish that she is trustworthy. We advise you to bring her before the honorable judge of your country so that he may question her about what she has to testify, and so that the necessary requirements for this matter are fulfilled. May Allah guide them all.
