Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister Umm Abdullah says: Some women and girls nowadays do not breastfeed their children after birth. What is the meaning of the noble verse[Al-Baqarah 2:233]?
Answer:
Yes, this is not a matter of obligation, unless the child has nothing to nourish him other than his mother's milk; in that case, she must breastfeed him. But if there is something else to nourish him, such as milk placed in bottles or devices that preserve milk and which the child sucks, that is sufficient. Yes.
