Question:
We conclude this session with this question from Syria, O Shaykh. The questioner says: Abd al-Salam from Syria, Aleppo:
A young man wants to marry a girl who desires him, and he desires her, but this young man was breastfed by the girl's mother with a single full suckling. Does this suckling make the marriage forbidden?
Answer:
A single suckling does not make it forbidden, and two sucklings do not make it forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6:1001 And he said to Sahlah bint Sahl: And Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “It was among what was revealed in the Qur'an that ten known sucklings make it forbidden, then they were abrogated by five known sucklings, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while the matter remained as such.”
So the sucklings that make it forbidden must be five, or more, each one independent. He sucks the breast and drinks the milk until it goes into his stomach, then he is removed and releases the breast. If he returns and sucks the breast and drinks the milk, that is the second. If he releases the breast, then returns a third time, that is the third, and so on until he completes five, each one independent. The woman must be certain that he drank milk, that he received milk. If he sucked it without milk, it does not count, or if she had no milk and he only occupied himself with her breast until he was quiet, and she had no milk, it does not count. So it must be five sucklings, or more, each suckling independent, containing milk that reaches his stomach.
As for the single suckling and two sucklings, they do not make it forbidden, nor do three or four. Yes.

Answer:
A single suckling does not make it forbidden, and two sucklings do not make it forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A single suckling does not make it forbidden, nor two sucklings, nor a single suck, nor two sucks.
لا تحرم الرضعة ولا الرضعتان، ولا المصة ولا المصتانBreastfeed Salim five feedings and you will be forbidden to him
