The answer

Lactation prohibits what birth prohibits. If the suckling is doubtful, the woman is not prohibited on account of it. However, it is recommended to abstain and separate from her. This falls under piety and caution in religious matters, in accordance with the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.” This caution is recommended, not obligatory.
