Question |
|
What do respected scholars of Islam say about the suckling period of babies? Up to which age should children be suckled? Is there any difference between the suckling periods of a baby boy and a baby girl? |

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |

Whether the suckling baby is a boy or a girl, they should be suckled up to the age of two years. If they are suckled over the age of two years, it will be impermissible and a sin. Some people are under the impression that a baby girl may be suckled for two years and a baby boy for two and a half year but this is unproven and is a fabrication. Remember! Although the permissible suckling period is two years, yet if any woman suckles a baby even after two years within the age of two and a half year, so Hurmat-e-Radaa’at will be proved. |
