The answer

The suckling that prohibits marriage according to Islamic law is five known sucklings or more within the first two years of the child's life. If the milk is mixed with anything else, such as medicine, it does not change the ruling. What is expressed for the child and given to him to drink is considered equivalent to what he suckles from a woman's breast, and it carries the same ruling as suckling, provided its conditions are met.
