The Laws of Breast-feeding



By Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan.
The Most High has said in verification of the unmarriageable women:

"...and your suckling mothers who suckled you and your sisters from suckling..." [An-Nisaa:23]

It is narrated in the two Saheeh collections (Al-Bukhaari and Muslim) that the Prophet, (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

"It becomes forbidden by suckling those relations that are forbidden by kinship."

Furthermore, his saying:

"It becomes forbidden by suckling those relations that are forbidden by birth."

Narrated by the group (1).

The meaning of breast-feeding, linguistically, is:  "The suckling of milk from the breast or the drinking of it."

It's definition according to the Sharee'ah is:  "The suckling or drinking etc. of the milk induced by pregnancy by a child younger than two years old."
