Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. The Shaykh understands from this that it is her milk.
The Shaykh : It is her property; once it is produced, it belongs to her. Yes, it is permissible for her to refuse breastfeeding except in cases of dire necessity. That is, it is permissible for a woman to refuse to breastfeed except in cases of dire necessity, if she does not accept another woman’s breast and there is a fear of the child’s death, then it is obligatory for her to breastfeed him.
