If a child is weaned from milk and then a woman breastfeeds him after his weaning, is this breastfeeding considered a mahram (a relative one may not marry)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If a child is weaned from milk before he completes two years of age, and then a woman breastfeeds him after his weaning, is this breastfeeding considered a mahram (a relative one may not marry)?

Answer:
If he no longer needs milk, he is weaned, even if it is before the two years. If he no longer needs milk because of food, he is weaned, even if it is before the two years. So whatever happens after the weaning is not considered.
