Is the prohibition of marrying a betrothed girl established in the event of doubt regarding the occurrence of breastfeeding between the suitor and the girl's maternal aunt, given the mother's testimony that she does not know whether the breastfeeding occurred within the two years and the number of satiating feedings?
The default is the absence of prohibitive suckling, and what was mentioned does not establish prohibitiveness. However, it is better to leave this girl and search for another, based on the hadith of Uqbah ibn al-Harith: "How can it be, when it was said?" So he separated from her, and she married another man.
