Method and Conditions of Becoming Mahram as a Result of Being Suckled One Full Day
Issue No. 2117- As was said in the previous issue if a child is breastfed by a woman for one day and night, the suckling becomes the cause of being maḥram. In order to become maḥram by suckling it is necessary that the child does not take any food during the one day and night and also does not suck the milk of any other woman. However, if he takes so little food that people do not consider that he has taken food in between, there is no harm in it. Moreover, the child who sucks the milk of one woman fifteen times should not suck the milk of any other woman during these fifteen times, and each time it should suck milk to its fill. Hence, as an obligatory precaution, two times suckling which is incomplete, will be counted neither as two times nor as one.
