Question:
What is the stronger position regarding the issue of breastfeeding an adult when there is a need for it? Is it considered valid or not?
Answer:
You are attached to this matter of adult breastfeeding. We have clarified this how many times? We said that it is not permissible and that it does not establish prohibition. The scholars are in consensus that it does not establish prohibition. What happened to Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfah, was a specific case with no general application. This is proven by the fact that the Companions did not act upon it. Only a small number, such as 'Aishah, acted upon it, and this is an anomalous opinion that does not contradict the consensus, or does not affect the consensus. Is it not permissible? Yes.
