Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is breastfeeding an adult permissible? And may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
No. Breastfeeding an adult is not permissible. Breastfeeding is only valid within the first two years,[Al-Baqarah 2:233]. Breastfeeding from a state of hunger does not establish a prohibition; only what breaks the intestines and occurs before weaning establishes a prohibition. As for breastfeeding an adult in order to make him a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to the woman who breastfed him, this is not permissible according to the majority of the scholars. As for the case of Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfah, that is a specific case unique to him alone?

Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years
