If the wife breastfeeds the baby girl before the completion of two years, the baby girl becomes his daughter through suckling and a sister to his children. However, if the breastfeeding occurs after two years, it does not establish mahramiyyah (prohibition of marriage). It is a condition for breastfeeding to establish mahramiyyah that there be five full feedings.
