How many breastfeedings are forbidden?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A female caller to the program, who used the code name Maryam (A. A) from Riyadh, says: How many breastfeedings are forbidden?

Answer:
Five breastfeedings; the number is five breastfeedings within the two-year period. If the child sucks the breast, swallows the milk, then releases the breast, and then returns to it in the same sitting or in another sitting, and nurses until five are completed, then by that he becomes a son to the wet nurse and a son to the husband of the milk provider. However, if the breastfeeding is less than five, or if there is doubt about that, or doubt about the presence of milk, or doubt about it reaching the stomach, then it is not considered.
Therefore, one must be certain that there is milk that reached his stomach, and one must be certain of five breastfeedings or more, and one must be certain that this occurred within the two-year period before the child completed two years of age. If there are five breastfeedings or more, with certainty, in which the milk reaches the child's stomach, and the breastfeeding occurred within the two-year period before weaning, before the completion of two years, then the child becomes a son to the wet nurse, a son to her husband, and a brother to her children. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
