The answer

Caution is required in matters of suckling (رضاع). If a woman states that she suckled a man and a woman who are married, they must separate as a precaution, even if they are not certain about the number of sucklings or the truthfulness of the woman. This falls under the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt." Thus, if there is doubt regarding prohibitive suckling, caution necessitates treating it as a prohibitory relationship out of piety and to ward off suspicion.
