Question:
He says: There is a foundling who is now exactly one year old, and he has been weaned; he is now eating and not nursing. So, if my wife nurses him so that he lives among my children and becomes our son through breastfeeding, is this permissible?
Answer:
Yes. This involves saving a life and doing good to this infant. If she nurses him five times within the first two years, he becomes the son of the nursing mother and of the one who has the milk, who is the husband.
