Question: His Eminence our beloved father, Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah ibn Baz (may Allah preserve him and take care of him)
Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings, and after that:
We inform your Eminence that our brother: A. A. came to us with a question regarding breastfeeding. When we heard his question, we went to the nursing woman and asked her about the breastfeeding in question. She answered as follows:
I came and the child was placed by his mother, and he was crying. I spoke with his mother about breastfeeding him, and she said: I have no milk. I took him and breastfed him until he fell asleep. The second time was on the second day, and I am not sure about it.
Therefore, is the daughter of this woman permissible for the boy to marry, since he is proposing to her, and they are asking for the answer as soon as possible? May Allah reward you and prolong your life in obedience to Him.
Your son who prays for your well-being
S. A. M.
Answer: And upon you be peace, and Allah’s mercy and blessings, after that:
Such breastfeeding is not relied upon, and it does not result in the prohibition of breastfeeding; because the breastfeeding that results in prohibition must be five breastfeedings or more, while the child is within the two-year period; for what is established in Sahih Muslim from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: "It was among what was revealed in the Qur'an that ten known breastfeedings prohibit, then they were abrogated by five known breastfeedings, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away with that," and for his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Bulugh al-Maram 8:198. May Allah guide everyone to what He is pleased with. And peace.
