How is the reliance of the Fatwa Center on Aisha's narration regarding the abrogated verse of "five sucklings," which was recited after the Prophet's death, to be understood, and why is it still acted upon despite its abrogation? What came to replace it based on the verse, "Whatever verse We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We will bring forth [something] better than it or similar to it"?

The verse of "five sucklings" had its recitation abrogated, not its ruling. This is a type of abrogation that does not require a substitute, and it is what the majority of Ahl al-, from the four madhhabs, hold.
