The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to wean her infant who is nine months old?
The Shaykh:
And the same.
The questioner:
Months.
The Shaykh:
Nine, with the fathah.
The questioner:
Who is nine months old, and this is because she intends to perform the Hajj of Islam, is it permissible for her?
The Shaykh:
If the child needs breastfeeding and it would not harm him for the sake of her performing Hajj, rather she should remain and breastfeed him and perform Hajj next year.
