The ruling on breastfeeding a daughter who has completed two years of age
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: There is a woman who has a small daughter whom she is breastfeeding, knowing that this daughter has completed two years of age, and she is still in a state of breastfeeding. Is that permissible?
Answer:
If the daughter is eating food and getting her nutrition from food, she must be weaned, because there is no need for the comfort of breastfeeding, as the mothers were promised[Al-Baqarah 2:233]. So, if the daughter is eating food and no longer needs milk, she should not be allowed to breastfeed. However, if she is not eating food and is getting her nutrition only from milk, there is no harm in letting her breastfeed so that she does not die; there is no harm in letting her breastfeed, but she should be encouraged to eat food little by little, and she should not be left on milk alone, nor should she be accustomed to food, but rather she should be accustomed to it. Yes.
