The Cow - 2:233
For those who wish to complete the period of breastfeeding, mothers should breastfeed their babies for two years. The mother´s need for food and clothing should be met by the father of the child in a good and proper manner. No one should be held responsible beyond his capacity. The mother should not be harmed because of her child, nor should the father be harmed because of his child. It is also the duty of the heir to realize this. If the parents want to wean after consultation and agreement, there is no sin on either of them. If you wish to have your children suckled by a wet nurse, you are not liable as long as you pay her properly. Listen to Allah, Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
