The Lawfulness of an Elderly Woman Breastfeeding a Child Before the Completion of Two Years

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, if an elderly woman has milk, and it flows for a small child, and he nurses from her, is this considered a legal breastfeeding?

Answer:
Yes, it is considered a legal breastfeeding. If an elderly woman has milk that flows for a child before he is weaned, before he completes two years of age, and if she breastfeeds him fully, five times or more, she becomes his mother, and he becomes a brother to her children, both male and female.
