Is the female orphan forbidden to the husband and his sons if, while she was asleep at the age of one and a half years, she was breastfed a number of times by the sister of her guardian, knowing that the husband is the guardian's brother?
If the legal suckling occurs five times for an infant within the first two years of life, then permanent prohibition is established, whether the child was asleep or awake, and whether the milk reached the child's stomach through conventional suckling, or by drinking it from a vessel, or through the nose. So, if this girl suckled from the sister's breast or drank from her milk five times, she becomes her daughter through suckling, and consequently, she becomes forbidden to her husband, the owner of the milk, and to his sons, his brothers, and his paternal uncles, as well as to the brothers of the woman's husband and their sons.
