Summary
Milk of one woman mixed with that of another can establish the ruling of milk motherhood for both women. This applies when the mixture is drunk in an amount that meets the conditions of breastfeeding: five feedings, milk reaching the infant's stomach, and the child being no older than two lunar years. According to the final position of the Shafi'i school, the more dominant milk causes prohibition if the mixture is drunk fully or partly until five satiating feeds are reached, while the less dominant milk does not cause prohibition if only part of the mixture is drunk.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Susu wanita yang bercampur dengan susu wanita lain boleh mensabitkan hukum ibu susuan bagi kedua-dua wanita tersebut.
