And the mothers shall suckle their infants for two full yearsThis (injunction) is for him who wants to complete the suckling periodAccording to usage, the food and clothing of the feeding mothers is the obligation of the father of the childNo soul should be stressed beyond its capacity (and) neither the mother nor the father should be harmed for the childThe same injunction is applicable to the heirsThen if the mother and the father both desire with mutual consultation and consent to wean (even before the fixed two years) there will be no sin on themNor shall it be a sin if you intend to engage (a wet nurse) for suckling the child, while you pay them whatever you do according to usageAnd fear Allah and know that Allah is watchful of all that you do
