The ruling on depriving a child of breastfeeding due to marital disputes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does the one who prevents a child from being breastfed by its mother because of marital disputes that led to divorce commit a sin? And what is the expiation for the one who did that?
Answer:
Yes, you heard that it is not permissible, it is not permissible to harm the mother and to harm the child as well. Preventing the child from breastfeeding from its mother because of a misunderstanding between him and the mother is not permissible. And whoever did any of that, let him turn to Allah in repentance, seek Allah's forgiveness, and not return to such a thing.
