Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And mothers shall breastfeed their children for two complete years"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the noble verse, and the explanation of this verse
Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete yearsوَالْوَالِدَاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:233]


Answer:
This is a command from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) for the mother to breastfeed her child for two complete years, unless the child no longer needs breastfeeding because he eats food, in which case it is not obligatory to complete the two years. But if he does not become independent of breastfeeding, she should breastfeed him until he no longer needs it. Yes.
