Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it a condition in breastfeeding that the nursing woman has not passed the two-year period from the child's birth? Is it a condition in breastfeeding that the nursing woman has not passed the two-year period since the child's birth; because some women may continue to have milk for more than two years?
Answer:
It is not upon the nursing woman; it is upon the infant. If the infant is past the two-year period, it is not considered, because he is self-sufficient with food. But if he is before the two-year period, it is considered, because he is in need of breastfeeding.
