Benefits of the Hadith: (… I heard Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), say to Aisha: “By Allah, I am not pleased that the young man sees me as one who has become independent of breastfeeding…”)

The Shaykh : In this, there is an indication that the breastfeeding which is forbidden is that which the breastfed child does not become independent of, which is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Yes, good. As for her saying “one with a beard,” is there evidence that the beard indicates reaching puberty? No, the beard is not evidence of reaching puberty, because it may be delayed significantly after puberty, and it may come before puberty. However, the general rule is that one with a beard is an adult. Yes, Aisha is among those who say that breastfeeding an adult is forbidden.
