Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If five full breastfeedings occur between a husband and wife, separation between them becomes obligatory. The children are attributed to their father because the marriage is a marriage of شبهة (doubt/ شبهة contract), and their maintenance is incumbent upon their father until they reach maturity and are able to earn a living.
