Do the People of the Sunnah and the Community permit the suckling of an adult to prohibit marriage, and has Al-Azhar issued a fatwa to that effect?

The issue of adult suckling is a jurisprudential matter, and there is disagreement about it among the Sunni scholars themselves. The majority of them hold a view contrary to what you mentioned. No has been issued by Al-Azhar affirming the prohibition through adult suckling; rather, Al-Azhar condemned a previous fatwa by one of its scholars on this matter.
