<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) A woman’s testimony that she has suckled a person is sufficient proof to confirm it.<br> 2) A person who is unaware or uncertain about some ruling is required to refer to the scholars.<br> 3) A person should be cautious to preserve his religion. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The best of your religion is piety.” [Narrated by Al-Hākim]<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> Suckling that causes non-marriageability is that which meets the following conditions:<br> 1) The milk comes from a woman; Allah Almighty said: {And your [milk] mothers who nursed you}<br> 2) There were five full (satiating) sucklings or more.<br> 3) The suckling takes place within the first two years before weaning.<br> If non-marriageability is established, it applies to the suckled person and his progeny only, i.e. his descendants. As for his ascendants and collaterals, like his parents and siblings, it has no effect on them.<br> For example, the father of the suckled child, his brother, and his sister are not affected by this suckling.
