What is the ruling for a woman whose nursing infant harms her when he nurses? Is it permissible for her to wean him after only one year and three months?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. I say that regarding the nursing of the child, since he is now one year and three months old, and he is harming the woman by biting the breast and hurting her, she should wean him or continue, and she should entrust the outcome to Allah.
The Shaykh : This depends on the health of the infant.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And his vitality and strength.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If it is possible, meaning if weaning him and feeding him with artificial milk will work out.
The questioner : Ah, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : But if his health cannot withstand it.
The questioner : No, his health is good, praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Then she completes the two years.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : His health is good.
The questioner : Yes, that is fine.
The Shaykh : That is what we wish for. Peace be upon you, may we see you in good health.
