أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَوَاءٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، وَأَيُّوبُ , عَنْ صَالِحٍ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّضَاعِ ، فَقَالَ : " لَا تُحَرِّمُ الْإِمْلَاجَةُ ، وَلَا الْإِمْلَاجَتَانِ " , وَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ : " الْمَصَّةُ وَالْمَصَّتَانِ " .
´It was narrated from Umm Fadl that the Prophet of Allah was asked about breast-feeding and said:` "Suckling (Al-Imlajah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited." And (one of the narrators) Qatadah said (in his narration): "Suckling (Al-Massah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
This narration is authentic and explicit that the prohibition of suckling (raḍā‘ah) is not established by one or two instances of breastfeeding, rather it requires more instances. In view of the previous hadith, the maximum intended is five times, so that all the ahadith can be acted upon.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stated this blessed saying in response to a question from a man. This incident is narrated in detail in Sahih Muslim. Umm al-Fadl (radi Allahu anha) said: The Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was present in my house when a Bedouin came to him. He said: O Prophet of Allah! I had a woman in my marriage, and while she was still with me, I married another woman. My first wife claims that she has breastfed my new wife once or twice. At that, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stated the above-mentioned ruling. (Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Rada‘, Chapter: Regarding One Suckling and Two Sucklings, Hadith: 1451)
Some scholars have deduced from this hadith that the rulings of breastfeeding (rada‘ah) are established by three instances of suckling, meaning that the milk relationship is established. However, the correct view is that prohibition (of marriage) is established by five instances of suckling, as narrated in Sahih Muslim from Aisha (radi Allahu anha) that initially, the ruling of prohibition through breastfeeding was revealed in the Qur’an for ten instances of suckling, then it was abrogated and the ruling was revealed for five instances of suckling. (Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Rada‘, Chapter: Prohibition by Five Sucklings, Hadith: 1452)
