Question:
What is the meaning of: five full breastfeedings?
Answer:
Five breastfeedings; there is no such thing as "full" breastfeedings. No one says: "full." It is five breastfeedings. But even if they are not full, if the child suckles and swallows the milk and the milk reaches his stomach, even if he does not get full, it counts as one breastfeeding. If he returns and suckles a second time, even if he does not get full, it counts as a second breastfeeding, and so on. It is not a condition that they be full.
Q: Even if it is in one sitting?
The Shaykh: Even if it is in one sitting, or in multiple sittings.
