Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says that she has a daughter who is one year and five months old, and she wants to perform Hajj this year. For this reason, she wants to wean her. Is there anything required of her?
Answer:
She and her husband should consult each other. If there is no harm in weaning her, there is nothing wrong with it, provided she eats and is nourished by something else. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: [Surat al-Baqarah 233]. Weaning: the act of weaning. If a woman wants to wean her before two years, she must consult with her husband. If weaning her does not harm her, there is nothing wrong with it.

And if they both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and consultation, there is no blame upon either of them.
فَإِنْ أَرَادَا فِصَالًا عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِنْهُمَا وَتَشَاوُرٍ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا..
