bayhaqi:15738Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. al-Ḥasan > Ibrāhīm b. al-Ḥusayn > Ādam > And Rqāʾ > Ibn Abū Najīḥ

[AI] In His saying, "Mothers should breastfeed their children for two complete years." He meant that divorced mothers should not be harmed, as a mother should not refuse to breastfeed her child if it causes harm to the father or if the child does not want to breastfeed. Likewise, the father should not be harmed if the mother prevents him from breastfeeding the child in order to make her sad. The same applies to the inheritor. He meant the guardian, if they both agree to separate without harming themselves and consult each other, but not to the disadvantage of their child, then there is no blame on them. If you want to breastfeed your children because you fear harm to the child, then there is no blame on you if you fulfill what you have given in a fair manner, meaning in exchange for what the child has been breastfed.

البيهقي:١٥٧٣٨وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ نا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ نا آدَمُ نا وَرْقَاءُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ

فِي قَوْلِهِ وَالْوَالِدَاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْوَالِدَاتِ الْمُطَلَّقَاتِ لَا تُضَارَّ وَالِدَةٌ بِوَلَدِهَا يَقُولُ لَا تَأْبَى أَنْ تُرْضِعَهُ ضِرَارًا يَشُقُّ عَلَى أَبِيهِ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ لَهُ بِوَلَدِهِ يَقُولُ وَلَا يُضَارَّ الْوَالِدُ بِوَلَدِهِ فَيَمْنَعُ أُمَّهُ أَنْ تُرْضِعَهُ لِيُحْزِنَهَا بِذَلِكَ وَعَلَى الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْوَلِيَّ مَنْ كَانَ فَإِنْ أَرَادَا فِصَالًا عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِنْهُمَا وَتَشَاوُرٍ غَيْرَ مُسِيئِينَ فِي ظُلْمِ أَنْفُسِهِمَا وَلَا إِلَى صَبِيِّهِمَا دُونَ الْحَوْلَيْنِ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا وَإِنْ أَرَدْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْتَرْضِعُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ خِيفَةَ الضَّيْعَةِ عَلَى الصَّبِيِّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا سَلَّمْتُمْ مَا آتَيْتُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ يَعْنِي بِحِسَابِ مَا أَرْضَعَ الصَّبِيَّ

Collected by Qurʾān
quran:2:233

Mothers suckle their children for two whole years, if they wish to complete the term, and clothing and maintenance must be borne by the father in a fair manner. No one should be burdened with more than they can bear: no mother shall be made to suffer harm on account of her child, nor any father on account of his. The same duty is incumbent on the father’s heir. If, by mutual consent and consultation, the couple wish to wean [the child], they will not be blamed, nor will there be any blame if you wish to engage a wet nurse, provided you pay as agreed in a fair manner. Be mindful of God, knowing that He sees everything you do.

وَٱلْوَٰلِدَٰتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلَٰدَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِۖ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُتِمَّ ٱلرَّضَاعَةَۚ وَعَلَى ٱلْمَوْلُودِ لَهُۥ رِزْقُهُنَّ وَكِسْوَتُهُنَّ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِۚ لَا تُكَلَّفُ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا وُسْعَهَاۚ لَا تُضَآرَّ وَٰلِدَةُۢ بِوَلَدِهَا وَلَا مَوْلُودࣱ لَّهُۥ بِوَلَدِهِۦۚ وَعَلَى ٱلْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَٰلِكَۗ فَإِنْ أَرَادَا فِصَالًا عَن تَرَاضࣲ مِّنْهُمَا وَتَشَاوُرࣲ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَاۗ وَإِنْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن تَسْتَرْضِعُوٓا۟ أَوْلَٰدَكُمْ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا سَلَّمْتُم مَّآ ءَاتَيْتُم بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِۗ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرࣱ
