Marrying one's milk sister
Q: I wanted to marry a girl but later they told me that her mother breastfed me once when I was less than one year. I researched about it and according to my knowledge in Quran it is forbidden to marry but there is no evidence of how many times of breastfeeding is required. From hadith I found that there is one hadith from Hazrat Aaisha (radhiyallahu anha) which states that five breastfeeding is required to make it haram. Please guide me regarding this issue.

Using a duff in a wedding function
Q: A person I know is getting married, so they are hosting a party where we will gather and eat. The duff will also be played in the party. The party will be women-only, but I'm having some doubt on the duff part.
Is this within the boundaries of permissibility to use the duff? Also, I think they will use some speakers so that the duff is louder.
