Surah Al-Baqara

Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period]. Upon the father is the mothers' provision and their clothing according to what is acceptable. No person is charged with more than his capacity. No mother should be harmed through her child, and no father through his child. And upon the [father's] heir is [a duty] like that [of the father]. And if they both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and consultation, there is no blame upon either of them. And if you wish to have your children nursed by a substitute, there is no blame upon you as long as you give payment according to what is acceptable. And fear Allah and know that Allah is Seeing of what you do.﴿233

Simplified Tafsir

وعلى الوالدات إرضاع أولادهن مدة سنتين كاملتين لمن أراد إتمام الرضاعة، ويجب على الآباء أن يكفُلوا للمرضعات المطلقات طعامهن وكسوتهن، على الوجه المستحسن شرعًا وعرفًا؛ لأن الله لا يكلف نفسًا إلا قدر طاقتها، ولا يحل للوالدين أن يجعلوا المولود وسيلة للمضارة بينهما، ويجب على الوارث عند موت الوالد مثل ما يجب على الوالد قبل موته من النفقة والكسوة. فإن أراد الوالدان فطام المولود قبل انتهاء السنتين فلا حرج عليهما إذا تراضيا وتشاورا في ذلك؛ ليصلا إلى ما فيه مصلحة المولود. وإن اتفق الوالدان على إرضاع المولود من مرضعة أخرى غير والدته فلا حرج عليهما، إذا سلَّم الوالد للأم حقَّها، وسلَّم للمرضعة أجرها بما يتعارفه الناس. وخافوا الله في جميع أحوالكم، واعلموا أن الله بما تعملون بصير، وسيجازيكم على ذلك.
