3310. It was narrated from Umm Faql that the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ was asked about breast-feeding and said: "Suckling (Al-Imlājah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited."

3308 - 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 اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّضَاعِ، فَقَالَ: «لَا تُحَرِّمُ الْإِمْلَاجَةُ وَلَا الْإِمْلَاجَتَانِ» وَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ: الْمَصَّةُ وَالْمَصَّتَانِ

This narration is authentic, that one or two suckles do not make a prohibition, until the infant suckles a few more times. In view of the previous narration, it would mean at the most five sucklings so that all the narrations could be acted upon.
