Does Breastfeeding Once Establish Foster Relationship (Raḍāʿah) in Islam?

Is Breastfeeding Once Enough to Establish Raḍāʿah and Prevent Marriage in Islam?

Question: A woman breastfed her niece once. Does breastfeeding once establish the foster relationship (raḍāʿah), and can she marry her son to her niece?

Answer: Breastfeeding once does not establish the foster relationship (raḍāʿah). For raḍāʿah to be established, the child must be breastfed five times to full satisfaction, and this must occur within the first two years of the child’s life. In this case, raḍāʿah is not established, so the woman can marry her son to her niece.
