The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to nurse in front of her mahram (a relative one may not marry) by exposing her breast to them?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for her to expose her breast in front of him. She should cover her breast and nurse her child from behind a screen. Is it permissible for her to nurse in front of women? Likewise, she should not expose anything in front of women except what is customary to uncover. And what is the need for exposing the breast in front of women? What is the need? Yes.
