What is Islam's ruling on someone who breastfed more than five times with non-satiating sucklings, and is their marriage valid?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prohibitive suckling must consist of five full sucklings. Therefore, if a woman suckled from another woman more than five non-full sucklings, it is permissible for anyone who shared suckling from that woman to marry her, provided there is no other proven legal suckling between them.
