Ruling on marrying a woman who was breastfed by one's mother twice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a man to marry the sister of a man who was breastfed with him twice? That is, the one who wants to marry is the one who was breastfed?

Answer:
Two breastfeedings do not make marriage forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Breastfeeding once or twiceلا تحرم الرضعة ولا الرضعتان
Sunan Ibn Majah 1940Sahih (Darussalam)
. It is necessary to have five breastfeedings. If the controlled breastfeeding is two, three, or four, it does not make marriage forbidden. It is necessary to have five breastfeedings or more within the two-year period, that are controlled and known. However, if one leaves that off out of leaving what is doubtful, there is no harm; because of his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying:
Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.دع ما يريبك إلى ما لا يريبك
Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711Sahih (Darussalam)
,
he who guards against the unclear matters, he clears himself with regard to his religion and his honorمن اتقى الشبهات استبرأ لدينه وعرضه
Sunan Ibn Majah 3984Sahih (Darussalam)
. But the prohibition is not established except with five breastfeedings or more. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
