May A Milk Kinship Be Established If A Child Sucks A Breast With No Milk?

May a milk kinship be established if a child sucks a breast with no milk?

For milk kinship to be established, the nursing mother’s milk should reach to the baby’s stomach. Fiqh scholars put forward different opinions about the milk amount that should be sucked by baby so that milk kinship is established. While Hanafis and Malikis are of the opinion that even a drop of milk that reaches the stomach of the baby who is in breastfeeding age is sufficient for the establishment of milk kinship, Shafiʽis and Hanbalis assert that the baby must be breastfed until s/he gets full (Marghinani, al-Hidayah, III, 138; Ibn Qudamah, al-Mughni, XI, 309).

Accordingly, milk kinship is not established by sucking a breast that has no milk.
