A man who marries a woman, then a woman comes and says: I suckled them both

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the witnesses in a matter of suckling, and he said: "A man and a woman are sufficient."

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I married the daughter of Abu Ihab al-Tamimi. On the morning after the wedding, a freed slave woman of the people of Makkah came and said: "I have suckled you both." Uqbah rode to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah and related the whole matter, adding: "I asked the girl's family, but they denied it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "How (can you keep her), when it has already been said?" So Uqbah bin al-Harith parted from her, and she married someone else.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: When the woman who claims to have suckled is of approved character, her testimony is accepted in matters of suckling, and her oath is taken into account.

Ikrimah bin Khalid says: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) rejected the testimony of a woman in a matter of suckling.

Bukayr bin Fa'id says: Once a man married, and a woman came and claimed that she had suckled them both. The man brought the matter to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: "She is your wife; no one can make her forbidden to you. However, if you keep away from her (out of caution), that is better."

He asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about it, and he said the same.

Al-Zuhri says: In the time of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), a woman came to a husband and wife and claimed that she had suckled them both. Upon this, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) separated the two of them.

Amir says: The judges used to separate a man and his wife on the testimony of one woman in a matter of suckling.

Al-Zuhri says: The testimony of a woman of sound mind is sufficient in a matter of suckling.
