Question:
The Shaykh is not to be asked if the woman is from the group of relatives, and the evidence for this is that it makes her laugh and makes her body laugh.
Answer:
So the ruling is that he seeks out another wet nurse; it is obligatory for her guardian that he seek out another wet nurse for him, even if it is for a fee. If her mother refuses to breastfeed him, she has withheld what is obligatory upon her. If he finds a woman who will breastfeed him, he seeks out a wet nurse for him, even if it is for a fee. But if no one is found to breastfeed him and he fears for him from the harms, meaning what you are forced to do to breastfeed him. Yes.
