Machine translationRead the Arabic original
'Abd al-Malik: I have heard those who hold that it is recommended to regulate family size every two years, and their evidence for this is the saying of Allah the Exalted [Al-Baqarah 2:233] So, desiring to complete the breastfeeding, they stated this recommendation. What is your view on this?
The Shaykh : Is this completion of breastfeeding a legally obligatory requirement?
'Abd al-Malik: He says it is recommended.
The Shaykh : I know that. What is the evidence? I say the verse does not indicate a legal ruling that it is recommended to adhere to, rather, yes?
'Ali: A report?
The Shaykh : A report.
Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period].
