The ruling on a woman breastfeeding her child while she is praying

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to breastfeed her child while she is praying, given that the child is fussy and not clear, even though the child is screaming.

Answer:
She should not breastfeed him while she is praying, as it distracts her from her prayer. However, she may shorten the prayer in a way that does not invalidate it until she can breastfeed him.
