Suckling establishes the same prohibitions as lineage, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Suckling prohibits what lineage prohibits." So, whoever is suckled by a woman with five full and satisfying sucklings or more becomes a son to her and to her husband, the owner of the milk, and a brother to all who were suckled by her the same number of times.
