3314. It was narrated that Masrûq said: "Aishah said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered upon me and there was a man sitting with me. He got upset about that, and I saw the anger in his face.' I said: "O Messenger of Allâh, he is my brother through breast-feeding." He said: "Be careful who you count as your brothers" - or: "be careful who you count as your brothers through breast-feeding" - "for the breast-feeding (which makes marriage prohibited) is from hunger." (Sahîh)

Commentary
The relationship established by breast-feeding takes place in that period of time when the infant solely depends on milk, and its whole subsistence consists of milk only. If it eats any other thing, it is very little. His primary genuine food ought to be milk. And this is valid until the child is two years old.
