Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Recently, some fatwas have been issued by some shaykhs, such as declaring singing permissible and breastfeeding an adult. We have not found any of the great scholars to oppose or agree with them, which has caused confusion among the general public. What is your guidance?
The Shaykh:
The scholars have opposed this, both in the past and in the present. Regarding the breastfeeding of an adult, the majority of scholars, or rather all of them, are in disagreement with it. It is not permissible to breastfeed an adult. The opposition exists. Likewise, the scholars have forbidden singing. The scholars have forbidden it, both in the past and in the present. The opposition exists. It is not necessary for every person to rush, speak, and issue a fatwa. It is not necessary for him to hasten to denounce it, because the denunciation exists. It exists in the books, it exists in the fatwas, it is recorded in the books. The denunciation and the refutation of these people exist. Yes, and there is no need for him to devote a specific refutation to each one of them. A specific refutation, yes.
The presenter:
The questions have ended.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best.
