Breastfeeding by the mother of her son's children after weaning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Ali al-Ruba'i from Aden, southern Yemen, says: What is the ruling on a mother breastfeeding her son's children, given that they have already passed the age of two? For the record, she has no milk. And if she did have milk, what is the ruling? Your Eminence the Shaykh? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no breastfeeding after weaning. Allah the Exalted said:
may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period]يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُتِمَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:233]
So the maximum period of breastfeeding is two complete years. If the child is weaned before the two years and this does not cause him hardship, there is no blame on him. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
