Breastfeeding an Adult and Taking Advantage of Juridical Dispensations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh was born to Abu Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him). If he asked us about something in our house, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say to him: "I will answer you so that you may know that it is prescribed for the Muslim to follow a legal precedent."

The Shaykh:
What is the difference between us?

The questioner:
Is it professional?

The Shaykh:
No, we said that the correct view, which is the position of the majority, is that there is no specific case for Suhaib, nor is there a general ruling for it, and it is not permissible to follow tricks or to follow legal dispensations. I mean, the legal dispensations that Allah and His Messenger have legislated are fine, and Allah loves that His dispensations be taken. But the dispensations in which scholars have exercised independent legal reasoning, and the opinions of scholars, these are not permissible for us. I do not say anything except what is supported by evidence from the opinions of scholars. Yes.
