Is a woman sinful if she breastfeeds a child without the permission of his parents?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is a woman sinful if she breastfeeds a child without the permission of his parents?

Answer:
There is no need for this. If the child needs it, she breastfeeds him, fearing that he might die, even if his father does not give permission, in order to preserve and save him. But if there is no danger to him, she does not breastfeed him except with his father's permission. And is the nursing woman required to seek permission from her husband for the breastfeeding? If it harms her child, she does not breastfeed except what is left over for her child, and her husband has the right to prevent her from doing so. But if this does not harm her child, her husband has no right to prevent her. Yes.
