The answer

There is no difference in the prohibitive suckling whether the suckling from the breast occurred at the same time or at different times. Thus, whoever suckles from a woman becomes a brother to all her children. A condition for suckling to be prohibitive is that it consists of five known and satiating sucklings, based on the of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: "Among what was revealed in the Quran were ten known sucklings that make marriage unlawful, then they were abrogated by five known sucklings." The default is non-prohibition, so prohibition is not established by doubt regarding the existence or number of sucklings.
